Thank you for your request for information about the following:

I have checked the FOI logs and published data and can't see the information I require so I think this needs to be a new request. 

You may not collect this information but I would like information over a suitable period of time year or two to latest data broken down by month of Private prescribing by ICB or Sub ICB location at least, if possible practice level or private provider level for only BNF Paragraphs 604011, 604012 and 60402 . data could be in a format like 

YEARMonth, ICB Code, Sub_ICB, Practice code/private prescriber (if possible), BNF Code, Prescription Items, Quantity. 

If it’s a big dataset then please break it down monthly 

I would say 2021, 2022 and 2023 ytd would be ok 

If Pharmacy’s don’t return prescriptions to you I’m not sure if this data would be collated in another way for reporting? Anyway, best advice would be appreciated.

Your request was received on 23 May 2023 and I am dealing with it under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

##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.

Contractors are required to send us the private prescriptions for controlled drugs in schedule 2 and 3 only, as per the drug tariff:

https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/pharmacies-gp-practices-and-appliance-contractors/drug-tariff

The requested BNF paragraphs do not have any schedule 2 or 3 controlled drugs in them, so contractors are not required to submit those prescriptions to us.

FOI-01147

Thank you for your request for information about the following: 
 
I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request information from NHS Business Services Authority.

Information requested:

Please may you provide me, in Microsoft Excel or an equivalent electronic format, with a list of non NHS trade invoices that were not paid within 30 days for the last 6 financial years which would feed into the Regulation 113 Notice you are required to publish each year as part of your obligations under The Public Contracts Regulations 2015, with the following information for each invoice (where available):

* The name of the Supplier
* Supplier email address
* Supplier company registration number
* Supplier postal address
* Supplier telephone number
* Supplier website
* The date of the invoice
* The invoice reference
* The gross value of the Invoice
* The date the invoice should have been paid by
* The actual payment date of the invoice
* The total amount of interest liability due to late payment of the invoice
* The total amount of interest paid to the supplier due to late payment of the invoice.

For the avoidance of doubt the above would be based on the data as summarised in the Annual Report and Accounts on pages 19 (2016/17), 20 (2017/18), 27 (2018/19), 31 (2019/20), 31 (2020/21) and the equivalent for the 2021/22 financial year.

We expect that this information to be readily available and easily accessible in the electronic format requested given the necessity of source data which must have been required to prepare and produce the Regulation 113 Notice.

If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, or for another reason, please provide advice and assistance, under the Section 16 obligations of the Act, as to how I can refine my request. 

You subsequently clarified your request with:

I am looking for the data behind the Regulation 113 disclosures of the NHS Business Services Authority. The summary I referred to in my FOI request referred to the NHSBSA Annual Report. It is therefore the NHSBSA that I am interested in.

You clarified your request on 30th May and I am dealing with it under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. 
 
##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. This is because our obligations under regulation 113 of PCRs (2015) have been an oversight and not something we have been actively publishing. Whilst we track payment performance, it is not to this extent. Further to your request we are now exploring how we resolve our compliance with this obligation, and we will be specifically seeking to understand through our colleagues in Government whether this continues as a requirement in the New Procurement Bill (set to launch in Spring next year), and if so in what format.

FOI-01205

Thank you for your request for information about the following:  
  
Please could you tell me how many people have received fines for prepayment certificates that have not been renewed automatically before reaching 60. 

Your request was received on 23rd May and has been dealt with under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.  

##Response  

The information requested is not held by NHSBSA. 

An Enquiry letter is issued when a valid exemption is not found for a patient. The process looks for all exemptions, not just what the patient has ticked on the form, and no further information is collected. We therefore do not hold information on what percentage of people turning 60 and having their automatic renewal cancelled are caught claiming prepayments in error.

Thank you for your request for information about the following:

I am researching how embedded gender critical discourse is within the UK government. The Cabinet Office have informed me about the situation there, but they have also advised me that I would need to contact each department or agency individually in order to learn the situation there because nobody has this information centrally.  

Could you please tell me if your agency hosts any communications channels dedicated to gender critical people or the SEEN network. These might be on Teams, Yammer, Slack, etc. 

Your request was received on 18th July, and I am dealing with it under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

##Response

The NHSBSA does not currently host any dedicated communication channels for gender critical employees.

However, it is possible that NHS England may hold some, or all the information you require.  

Organization: Freedom of Information Disclosure Log
FOI-01181

I am writing to confirm that I have now completed my search for the information which you requested on 19 May 2023 as outlined below: 

Under FOIA , I am requesting the following information: 

a) All e-mail correspondence sent to, CC'd to or from EIBSS by/to DHSC or the Cabinet Office during the period 1st April 2023 - 18th May 2023 which relates to the Infected Blood Inquiry's
 second interim report. 

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) communicate on a regular basis regarding the England Infected Blood Support
 Scheme (EIBSS). The purpose of those communications is for the NHSBSA to provide information to DHSC, so DHSC can make informed decisions. 

Section 40(2) – Personal Data

Please be aware that I have decided not to release details of all staff or information which could directly or indirectly identify staff, as this information falls under the
 exemption in section 40 subsections 1, 2 and 3 (a) of the Freedom of Information Act. 

This is because it would breach the first data protection principle as: 

a) It is not fair to disclose these people’s personal details to the world and is likely to cause damage or distress to staff.

b) These details are not of sufficient interest to the public to warrant an intrusion into the privacy of those staff. 

Please click the below web link to see the exemption in full. 

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/36/section/40 

Section 36 – Prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs 

The remaining information is being withheld as they fall under the exemption in 36(2)(b)(i) – (2)(b)(ii) and (2)(c) of the Freedom of Information Act. 

In applying this exemption, we have balanced the public interest in withholding the information against the public interest in disclosing the information.

The factors the Authority considered when deciding that in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest
 in disclosing the information are as follows: 

Factors for Disclosure 
 
* Transparency/Public Accountability 

Factors against disclosure 
                 
* The effective running/provision of the EIBSS is underpinned by the frank exchange of views and seeking of guidance by the NHSBSA from the DHSC.
                
* Disclosure of certain information/views exchanged would be prejudicial to the openness of views exchanged between the parties, to the detriment of the provision of
 the service. 
                   
* Disclosure of certain information would prejudice the formulation/communication of government policy decisions. 

The authority has decided that in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information. 

Please click the below web link to see the exemption in full.
