Caveats

Cost Per Transaction - The service is currently not in a position to publish the cost per transaction metric. We are analysing the data to ensure that we are confident about the data that is published. We aim to update this dataset with the final metric in due course, we will provide updates when available.

Google Analytics - Google Analytics data is only captured for users that accept all cookies when arriving on the NHSBSA website it cannot collect data about a user's visit if they reject cookies. Therefore, the completion rate data will only be based on users who have accepted cookies.

Customer Satisfaction Survey - The customer satisfaction survey covers the service from the customer completing the digital application through to the initiation of the payment. We utilise a question which relates specifically to the NHSBSA service but this is impacted if the customer has not received their reimbursement in a timely manner which is not within the NHSBSA’s control.
