FOI request
I'd like to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act for all of your entity's expenditure over £25,000 for January 2020 to April 2025.
Please provide the data in a machine-readable format (preferably CSV). As a minimum, please make sure to include the date, value, and recipient of each transaction. Please also provide details on the procurement category of each transaction if you have it.
If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email, and I will be very happy to clarify what I am asking for and discuss the request.
Decision
a) Before providing our response, it is important to note the following.
Part of the timeframe for the request (January 2020 – September 2023) was a time when HSSIB was not in existence. HSSIB can only provide data from 1 October 2023 onwards, the date on which it came into existence as an independent arm's length body.
Data held by the former body, Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB), prior to 1 October 2023 should be requested from NHS England. Further details can be found on the HSIB legacy page, which explains the difference between HSIB and HSSIB. NHS England can be reached on: england.contactus@nhs.net.
