I can confirm that the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) holds information meeting the description specified in your request.

However, together with the information provided to you under request reference 8605, and the information required, we understand that this information has/will exceed 18 hours to locate, retrieve and extract.

Under section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000, allows an Authority, in the following circumstances, to aggregate requests received when calculating if the appropriate limit of £450 has been reached:

* Two or more requests for information have been made;
* They must be from the same person, or from different persons who appear to the public authority to be acting in concert or in pursuance of a campaign (section 12(4)(b) of the FOIA);
* The requests must relate to the same or similar information;
* They were received within a space of sixty consecutive working days

In the last sixty consecutive working days (i.e. since 19 July 2019, the date of your company’s previous request) you have submitted 1 other request for information and taken collectively I estimate that the cost of complying with any subsequent requests would exceed the appropriate limit of £450. This represents the estimated cost of one person spending 18 hours in determining whether the Authority holds the information, and locating, retrieving and extracting the information.

Any further requests for information made by you before 17 September 2019 would be refused under section 12 of the FOIA, as detailed above.
