OOHC budgets are held locally. TheOOHC expenditure shown only relates to FP10 prescribing.

Budget and forecast figures will not be shown on your PMD statements for the first two months of each financial year. This is due to the volatility of prescribing over a short time period, which can seriously distort the annual outturn amount.
