Dispute resolution
Disputes relating to payment are referred to the Group Accounts Payable Manager located at the Priory Group Northern Office, Middleton St George in the first instance to determine the reasons for such disputes. Thereafter follows an established process involving discussions with the supplier in question, operational teams, Group Purchasing and other central support services personnel as needed in an effort to satisfactorily resolve such disputes in a timely manner.
Other information
There have been no changes to our standard payment terms however should a supplier have been newly appointed during the reporting period then our standard internal payment terms are made known on the supplier set up form as issued to the supplier for completion at the time of appointment. Additionally, from January 2019 scheduled payments to suppliers are now made four times in each calendar month, previously paid twice monthly.

How UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
