Dear Mrs J Taylor
FOI_16_120
Thank you for your recent request for information under the Freedom of
Information Act. Please see our responses highlighted below;
1) Please state the total number of Accounts Payable
invoices processed by the organisation in the last financial year (15/16)
Accounts payable processing is performed for the CCG by NHS Shared
Business Services but the contract for this service is held by NHS England
on behalf of all CCGs. We do not, therefore, receive contract volume
information. We would estimate that the number of accounts payable
invoices paid by NHS Bassetlaw CCG in 15/16 was in the region of 6,000
2) In the last five years, please state the name(s) of all
external organisation(s) used to review AP and identify and recover
erroneous payments, and the period(s) reviewed by each.
NHS Bassetlaw CCG has not utilised any external organisations to review
accounts payable and identify erroneous payments since the creation of the
CCG in April 2013
3) Please state the total value of moneys recovered by each
provider in the period(s) reviewed.
Not applicable – please see 2 above
4) Please state the total amount paid to any external
parties for this review work.
Not applicable – please see 2 above
I trust this fulfils your requirements.
Regards
Sarah
