- Confirm that the Software can make a suitable report available to the Pharmacy Contractors that informs them of the level of activity they've input for each claim period and will enable the Pharmacy Contractor to provide the required data to the relevant Trust by 11 January 2024
- Acceptance Tests complete by 18 January 2024
- Successful transmission of a live service message via the API by 25 January 2024
