Our published payment run dates indicated that the 4th settlement run of March would be paid on Thursday 29 March.

Unfortunately, due to a payment processing error affecting both crime and civil payments, this will be delayed by one day. I have received confirmation from our bank that providers' accounts will now be credited on Friday 30 March, one day later than scheduled.

I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but I am pleased to be able to confirm that payment will still be made this week, and within this financial year.
