Dear Department of Health and Social Care,

Dear Sir/Madam,
As I understand it, the UK government has allocated approximately £45 million over two years for the Swap to Stop scheme, which aims to help one million smokers quit by providing them with free vaping kits which are provided to them by Local Councils, NHS trusts etc who submit Bids or an 'Expression of Interest' detailing the qty of vouchers they require as part of their local strategies.
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am writing to request the following information regarding the Swap to Stop scheme:

The amount of vouchers awarded to each Vape company
The amount of redeemed vouchers by vape company
The total number of awards given under Swap to Stop

Yours faithfully,

Samuel James Clements
