I refer to your request under the Freedom of Information Act, which I received on 8 February 2024 for information about the following: 

During Covid, I believe prinicipals/contract holders were meant to pass on the funding they received from NHS England to their associates. Furthermore to this, I believe they were meant to sign a declaration that they had done so, around July 2020. 
A letter by NHS England dated 14 July said practice owners would need to sign a declaration confirming the payments had been passed on. NHS England also said they would take action should it not be signed/signed falsely.

I never received any payment during the summer months of this year, which I now believe I was entitled to.
I would like to request a copy of this document/declaration, which was signed around July 2020, or perhaps a few months later.

I have a question about the criteria that NHSBSA/EIBSS use for the Hepatitis Stage 2 criteria and I would be grateful if you could clarify this for me. I may have emailed asking this or a similar question previously but cant remember; I wonder if you might have a copy in your files? 
At a previous Focus Group meeting that I attended some years ago now in Newcastle a question was raised about “pre paid” funeral plans for those at HCV Stage 2 and the reason EIBSS gave for making these “pre paid” funeral payments to those at Stage 2 was due to the fact that after seeking medical advice EIBSS consider Hepatitis C Stage 2 to be a terminal condition. EIBSS also stated the medical advice is this is not the same for those that have HIV.  
Could you advise if NHSBSA/EIBSS use the same criteria today?  
Could I also ask you to send me copies of the medical advice EIBSS received confirming the Hepatitis C stage 2 terminal condition criteria and any other medical advice EIBSS have been given confirming HIV is not now considered a terminal condition. 


#Response#
I can confirm that the criteria regarding funeral prepayment plans remains unchanged and can be found on our website at: https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/discretionary-support

This policy has been in place since the England Infected Blood Support Scheme (EIBSS) commencement 1st November 2017.  
 
We do not hold documents on medical advice specifically relating to Hepatitis C Stage 2 and the criteria of the funeral prepayment plan.  
 
The medical advice regarding HIV can be found via a previous FOI response via this link:

54,611 practitioner membership records are not presently updated to 31 March 2022 in respect of 55,008 open practitioner employments. There are several reasons why records may not have been updated. This could be because practitioner members have not yet submitted their certificates, there are queries on the certificates, or certificates are missing from earlier years which is preventing an update to later years.


Label	Volume
Total Practitioners	55,292
