##Response

I can confirm that the NHSBSA holds the information you have requested and a copy of the information is attached.

Please read the notes to ensure your correct understanding of the data.

Data source: NHSBSA Data Warehouse

The NHSBSA calculates payments for covid vaccinations to pharmacies and Primary Care Network (PCN) groupings in England. Each month, vaccine providers submit claims to request payment based on the Community Pharmacy Enhanced Service COVID-19 vaccination programme specification ('the service specification').

Data included in this request is limited to vaccinations carried out by pharmacies only.

Data included in this request is also limited to vaccinations administered in March 2025.

The vaccine data is the latest held in the NHSBSA Data Warehouse. Pharmacy names and address details are as held in NHSBSA systems as of 11 April 2025.

Payments comprise an Item of Service fee and potentially a Supplementary fee. Payments do not relate to the value of the drugs dispensed.

Payment data includes payments made and those scheduled for payment in the future. Scheduled payments are provisional and may be subject to change before being made.

The total used for the payment calculation may not match the totals shown in 'live' Point of Care (POC) systems or MYS that continue to receive updates after the snapshot used to calculate payments was taken.

Please note that some vaccinations attract a supplementary fee, so it is not possible to determine the number of vaccinations by dividing the total paid by the basic Item of Service (IoS) fee.

This data does not include any adjustments made by NHSBSA Provider Assurance as part of any post payment verification exercise.  These adjustments are made at account level and may relate to several months of activity.

It is possible for new records from old administration months to be submitted to the NHSBSA by the contractor for processing in the future, thus the totals here for each administration month could change when more data is processed.

The columns provided are:

Administration Month - the month in which the vaccine was administered to the patient

ODS Code - the code from the NHS Organisation Data Service (ODS) for the pharmacy which administered the vaccine to the patient

Pharmacy Name - as held in NHSBSA systems as at the date given above.

Pharmacy Trading Name - as held in NHSBSA systems as at the date given above.

Pharmacy Address - as held in NHSBSA systems as at the date given above.

Pharmacy Post Code - as held in NHSBSA systems as at the date given above.

Number of Pharmacy Vaccinations Claimed - vaccinations administered in the requested period that have been included associated with a fee claim submission.

Number of Pharmacy Vaccinations Provisionally Paid - vaccinations administered in the requested period that were associated with a fee claim submission and were scheduled for payment according to the service specification at the time that the claim was processed. 

Provisional Payment Amount GBP - the calculated payment amount scheduled to be paid.
