Sensitive information

In some cases, information regarded as commercially sensitive, or which relates to individuals, has been redacted. This means that for reasons of privacy and to comply with GDPR, payments to individuals which may be deemed to be sensitive or confidential including adult carers, foster carers etc are still listed but the supplier name has been replaced with 'redacted personal data'.

Please note: The Transparency Code of Practice recommends that we include details of non-recoverable VAT on the reports, but we are unable to extract this information on the current report specification. Rather than further delay the publication of the reports, they have been approved for release without this information at the present time.
