##Request 

<p><i>‘Regarding your response to question 1.</i></p>

<p><i>I am submitting a FOI regarding late pension payment of Groombridge and Hartfield Medical Group.</i></p>

<p><i>You have informed me there are instances of late payments.</i></p>

<p><i>Please provide information on the period of these instances for all years/periods /dates applicable since they have been signed up to NHS pension scheme , when it occurred and how much the value of what  was owing by each time occurred.’</i></p>

Original FOI: https://opendata.nhsbsa.net/dataset/foi-02726 

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) received your request on 11 March 2026.  

We have handled your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). 

##Our response 

I can confirm that the NHSBSA holds the information you have requested and a copy of the information is attached. 

Column F shows the contribution amount relating to the month in column E. This is the contribution payment we received late, which generated the late payment charge. 

There is one cell in column F which states N/A. This is because the contribution amount was omitted from the late payment invoice for that month. This means we are unable to complete the late payment charge data for this cell.
