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.
