Trends in prescribing volume for orlistat and sibutramine in primary care in England. PACT: This information comes from the electronic Prescribing Analysis and Cost Tool (ePACT) system, which covers prescriptions prescribed by GPs and other non-medical prescribers in England and dispensed in the community in the UK. The Prescription Pricing Division of the NHS Business Services Authority maintains the system. PACT data are used widely in the NHS to monitor prescribing at a local and a national level. Prescriptions written in hospitals that are dispensed in the community (FP10 [HP]) are not included in PACT data. Prescriptions dispensed in hospitals or mental health units, and private prescriptions, are not included in PACT data
