##Request

<p><i>In addition to answering my questions, please send me copies of the NHS Pension Schemes annual reports from 1977 to 1983, and let me know who were the auditors of the Department of Health and Security account(s) between 1977-1983.</i></p>

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) received your request on 15 July 2025.

We have handled your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA)

##Our response

Please accept my sincerest apologies for the delay in this response. This was due to an administrative error. The NHSBSA takes its responsibility to respond to FOI requests within the required timescales seriously and unfortunately on this occasion we have not been able to do so.

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 NHSBSA 

##Advice and assistance

Please note, there are no Annual Report and Accounts for the Scheme for this period.

There may have been some basic cash reporting provided to HM Treasury (HMT) or the Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS), but this would have only been cash in /cash out compared to an annual budget.

We are unable to confirm if this information would be held by these departments.

##Publishing this response

Please note that this information will be published on our Freedom of Information disclosure log at:
