Thank you for your request for information about the following:

Request

Also I would like to know how many other registrants have been withdrawn from EIBSS following a review

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) received your request on 4 July 2025.

We have handled your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

Our response

We can confirm that we do hold the requested information.

Please be aware that I have decided not to release the requested information as the total number of registrants who have been withdrawn is below five. This is because the claimants could be identified, when combined with other information that may be in the public domain or reasonably available.

This information falls under the exemption in section 40 subsections 2 and 3A (a) of the Freedom of Information Act.

This is because it would breach the first data protection principle as:

a) it is not fair to disclose claimants’ personal details to the world and is likely to cause damage or distress.

b) these details are not of sufficient interest to the public to warrant an intrusion into the privacy of the claimants.

Please click the below web link to see the exemption in full.
