#Request#

I would be very grateful if you could provide us with a list containing the following information- 
  
•       a list of all the GP Alliances / Clusters including address 
•       contact details for somebody responsible within the clusters for example a Business Support Lead/Business Manager/Practice Manager etc 
•       a list of the GP’s surgeries that sit within the clusters with associated practice manager/business manager? 
  
Thank you very much in advance for providing this information or failing that confirming which NHS Department can provide this information.’ 

#Response#
I am writing to advise you that following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established that the information you requested is not held by the NHS Business Services Authority. 
 
We do hold information about prescribers and GP practices that constitute prescribing cost centres. This information is available publicly in the Information Services Portal ISP which can be accessed as a guest user. 
 
https://applications.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/infosystems/welcome 
 
In particular the Prescriber Details Reports is available from +Report > Common Information Reports > Organisation Data > Prescriber Details. 
 
You may also find NHS Digital’s (now part of NHS England) Organisation Data Service (ODS) information about GP Practices of interest; however, we are unsure if this includes the requested data. 
 
NHS Digital routinely publish organisation information on their website that can be accessed in several ways https://digital.nhs.uk/services/organisation-data-service

The NHS Digital ODS also provides various organisation hierarchy relationships including which practices belong to which Primary Care Network (PCN). PCN are a local grouping of primary care organisations that may be of some relevance, but we are unsure if this would correspond to “clusters” specifically.

##Request

Please could you tell me how many employees working at NHS Business Services Authority working at a band 6 or below have received funding to complete a level 7 qualification in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.  If possible, could this please be categorised into Directorates.

##Response

I cannot confirm or deny that the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) hold the requested information, as doing so would exceed the appropriate limit set out in section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and is currently set at £450 for non-central Government public authorities. The limit has been specified in The Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004 and represents the estimated cost of one person spending 18 hours in determining whether the NHSBSA holds the information, and locating, retrieving and extracting the information.

As the requested information is not centralised, Directorates within NHSBSA have their own training processes which are not managed by NHSBSA’s central Learning and Development Team. I can therefore confirm that compliance with the request would require a manual search of all HR records, both centrally and locally held by each Line Manager, for all 3228 staff at Band 6 and below. 

It is reasonably estimated that each file will take approximately 2 minutes to complete the manual search and therefore:

•	3228 x 2 minutes searching centrally held electronic HR records = 107.6 hours
•	3228 x 2 minutes searching locally held electronic HR records = 107.6 hours

Consequently, the estimated time for compliance with the request is 215.2 hours and therefore outside of the data collections limits. The NHSBSA is not obliged to comply with your request, and I will not be processing your request further as it currently stands.

*1) Are you able to disclose what ailments these claims were made for?* 


#Response#
A copy of the information is attached. Please read the below notes to ensure correct understanding of the data. 
 
All data as of 22 May 2023. 
 
All data relates to claims received by the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) and those transferred from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on 1 November 2021.  

All figures provided below relate to the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines.     

Of the 595 claims assessed by an independent medical assessor where the Pfizer vaccine was administered one or more of the documented medical conditions were listed on the claim form, claimant medical records, or assessment report.  

Please note that none of these claims have been successful, and it is therefore not possible to say that these conditions have been caused by the vaccine.
