> How does OpenPrescribing fit here? https://openprescribing.net/ https://openprescribing.net/ After my time that, as mentioned this was 20 years ago, but interesting. Had a quick play, certainly few aspects come to mind and that would be looking at methadone usage in an area in regards to buying a house and seeing the trend. Which does raise the whole aspect of which on-line estate agent will be first to link such data and analysis it in ways that would indicate the health of the area and insight as well into general lifestyle above and beyond crime data from the police. So for me, the question is - should open data have some control upon how it is used. Certainly don't want Domino's Pizza doing leaflet bombing of area's based upon an increase in that area of people with known eating disorder medications. Or a spoon company targeting an area because there is an increase in methadone usage. Certainly some dark marketing aspects that such data does open itself towards, if it's not granular enough. Surgery, is too detailed for public IMHO. Also be flawed as only some chemists/surgery's can prescribe certain medications, so you would see artificial bunching in some area's due to various reasons. Which without such information to go with that data to interpretive it correctly, you will make mistakes in processing without that area weighting aspect factored in. Things like that skew the data in a way that sets it up for interpretation abuse. Wait until Estate Agents start tapping into this - they already include school data and police data, so will only take one and then the rest will follow as it would be a competitive edge otherwise. All this reminded me - Census in the UK this year, I'll pop Jedi as religion again, good for the credit rating one day I hope.
