Time for a new chain (probably) and front sprocket (bolloxed) but not sure if I can get away with the same rear. It's a Supersprox which is claimed to last a lot longer than standard steel/alloy etc. I'd be happy if it's OK until the next chain as a replacement will mean at least £100+ extra....

You can see there is some wear but I’ve seen a lot worse still being used. How many miles has it done ? Andy
Jesus christmus, you'd be shocked at both of my front & rear sprockets. Front is proper hooked but I ride like a hool...
No idea on miles - the bike has done around 25,000 so I'd guess this is the first replacement from new (chain is a DID). I'd be happy to get this to last for one more chain as I think that needs replacing (I can pull it about 2 mm from the sprocket after adjusting). If I replace the sprocket I'll be forking out about £130 for a Supersprox or about £100 for a JT and carrier from m&p....
Forgot to mention there's a small lateral play in the rear sprocket (not in the wheel or axle) - I've read this is normal, or maybe the cush drive....?
I know that, but the cost of replacing THIS sprocket, if it's got light wear and will do another chain, is near enough the price of a chain anyway.
But will likely wear the chain prematurely, especially once it gets past a certain point. Obviously ultimately your choice, though I'd be inclined to replace as a set. This is where the carrier option comes in with it being cheaper to replace the very expensive Ducati fitment rear sprocket.
This is where not having the carrier type gets expensive, since I'm stuck with having to pay a lot more either way. A JT sprocket on its own is about £30...
