##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. The NHSBSA calculates payments for covid vaccinations to Pharmacies and GP Practices organised into Primary Care Network Groupings (PCN grouping) providers in England only- the requested organisation is based in Wales. Additionally, we have not completed any reconciliation activity on this account as our work up to now has only been completed on Regional areas within England. 

However it is possible that NHS Wales may hold some or all of the information you require. They can be contacted at:

FOI-01455

I refer to your request under the Freedom of Information Act, which I received on 25 September 2023 for information about the following:

Under Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the following information:

1. How many people have made applications to EIBSS for a hepatitis C infection from Intramuscular Immunoglobulin or Intramuscular Gammaglobulin?

2. How many people have made applications to EIBSS for a hepatitis C infection from Intramuscular Immunoglobulin or Intramuscular Gammaglobulin at the British Airways health/travel centre?

##Response

1,103 applications have been received for Hepatitis C stage 1 since the scheme inception on 1 November 2017, and 3,222 were received prior to this, totalling 4,325.
 
To answer both question 1 and 2 would require a manual search of all 4,325 applications. We estimate a minimum of 20 minutes per case, and some cases may take considerably longer depending on how much information there is to check. If the information is recorded, it would be in free text and could be written in various locations of the EIBSS record.
 
4,325 cases x 20 minutes = 1,441.7 hours 
 
Therefore, I estimate that the cost of complying with your request would exceed the non-central Government limit of £450. 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.  Under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act, the NHSBSA is not obliged to comply with your request and I will not be processing your request further.

##Request

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 please provide the following information.
The Vaccine Damage Payment Act 1979.
Since the Act was implemented and with regard to the Vaccine damage Payment Scheme, please supply
(a) the number of occasions when the qualifying threshold of disablement was set at 80% when claims were refused because the level of disablement was immediately assessed as less than 80% and causation was not investigated and /or established
(b) the number of occasions when the qualifying threshold of disablement was set at 60% when claims were refused because the level of disablement was immediately assessed as less than 60% and causation was not investigated and /or established
For your convenience I provide a quote by Mr john Patten from Hansard in 1985 quoting the figure at that time. (My emphasis and underlining)
Vaccine Damage (Compensation)
Volume 72: debated on Thursday 31 January 1985 
Up to 4 January 1985, the latest date for which figures are available, disablement was less than 80 per cent. in the following unsuccessful applications for a vaccine damage payment: 14 where the cause of such disablement was accepted as resulting from vaccination; 226 where the cause of such disablement was not accepted as resulting from vaccination; and 315 where the disablement was so substantially less than 80 per cent. that the cause was not investigated.


##Response

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) took over the administration of the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS) from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on 1 November 2021. 

Since taking over the scheme from DWP, no claims that have met the eligibility criteria to apply for a Vaccine Damage Payment have been immediately disregarded without being considered by an independent medical assessor.

All claims that meet the eligibility criteria to apply for a Vaccine Damage Payment (see https://www.gov.uk/vaccine-damage-payment/eligibility) are assessed by an independent medical assessor – a General Medical Council registered doctor with a license to practise.

Data regarding the claims process  prior to 1 November 2021 is not held by the NHSBSA. You can make a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to DWP at: www.gov.uk/guidance/make-a-freedom-of-information-foi-request-to-dwp
