Thank you for your request for information about the following: 
 
Request 

I would like you to provide any payments details that you might hold regarding payment calculations / submissions for the administration of the COVID-19 vaccination carried out by Croperdy Surgery, Claydon Road, OX17 1FB.

If you hold the information I would like to know the individual submission date and payments claimed, money to reimbursed and number of vaccinations administered for each period.
 
The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) received your request on 31 October 2024.  
 
We have handled your request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.  
 
##Our 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. We have no record of any claims for payment for COVID vaccinations made by this surgery, and as such we have not made any payment calculations for them. 
 
Advice and assistance 

Many GP practices have delivered COVID vaccinations as part of a network of local practices (many, but not all, of which have been the same groupings as the Primary Care Networks - see https://www.england.nhs.uk/primary-care/primary-care-networks/ for more information about these) with the claims being made through a single practice on behalf of the grouping.

As we have no records of claims for Cropredy Surgery it likely that they are part of a group in which they are not lead practice. We do not know which group they are part of for the purpose of delivering the COVID vaccines.

‘Freedom of Information Request  

Q1. I was wondering if you could help me out. I would like to find the contact point within the ICB for Cheshire East please? (Name and contact details). Or do you know if there is more than one as this is quite a large area?  

Q2. This is regarding Supported living. Could you tell me which care providers you work with, and who the contact name and details are please? And which housing associations do you work with? Contact name and details for these would be really appreciated as well please.’ 

##[On 29 August 2024 you clarified your request as follows] 

‘My apologies, I had a reply from Cheshire east council and they suggested I contact yourself for information. I should have removed the ICB part in my email to you.  

I am a property investor looking to purchase several properties and have recently learned about the supported living space. I would like to offer my properties to supported living providers to help individuals with complex needs have a comfortable home. I would just like to find out which care providers you currently use and who is the person responsible for selecting care providers and helping individuals with complex needs find the best home for them. For example say you have an individual who has severe autism is in a care home, but they struggle being around other people. Who would be the person that orchestrates this move? And the supported living providers that would then provide the 24 hour care required for the individual?’
