FOI-01482

Thank you for your request for information about the following:

• Copy of accessibility policy

• Every reasonable adjustment request made by a customer (and which were granted)

• Confirmation by our department or DHSC of why we are not able to do to fill out a medex as a reasonable adjustment.

Your request was received on 12 October 2023 and I am dealing with it under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

##Response

###Question 1

The Accessibility policy we follow is the WCAG2.1. It is available from the following web link:

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#ack_participants-active

Aside from this policy, we also have accessibility statements available on our website. The ‘respond to your letter’ relates to Penalty Charges:

The following applies to the NHS BSA website overall:

https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/accessibility-statement-nhs-business-services-authority-website

###Question 2
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. This is because we do not record reasonable adjustments that have been requested or granted.

###Question 3
The FP92A is the application form to apply for a Medical Exemption certificate (MEDEX). This form is a controlled document and can only be issued and signed by a GP or medical representative who has access to applicable medical records.

A GP or medical representative will be able to assist with the completion of this form.
