The Ask for ANI Codeword Scheme celebrated it\u2019s one-year anniversary earlier this year.<\/p>
The voluntary scheme was rolled out to pharmacies across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It has now been adopted by over 50% of pharmacies in the UK and over 100 official disclosures have been made.<\/p>
We continue to work with partners across the UK, including pharmacy associations, to encourage more pharmacies to sign up to the scheme.<\/p>

The right hand column provides an estimate of the maximum financial value of the grant support for these vehicles. This was calculated from vehicle registration data by applying amount of available grant for eligible models at the time of registration. This estimate does not mean that every car registered received the grant or that other cars did not receive the grant before the end of December 2020 but had not registered the car yet.<\/p> <\/p> Area of registration<\/strong><\/p><\/td> Number of registrations for eligible models<\/strong><\/p><\/td> Maximum potential grant support awarded 1<\/sup><\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> Scotland Borders Unitary Authority<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 308<\/p><\/td> £1.1 million<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Scotland<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 17,266<\/p><\/td> £61 million<\/p><\/td><\/tr> UK<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 301,096<\/p><\/td> £1,066 million<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> 7 Scottish local authorities have been awarded grants totalling £1,065,381 through the On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS), up to July 2021. The Scheme is administered on the Department\u2019s behalf by Energy Saving Trust, who offer expert advice and support to local authorities throughout the application process. Energy Saving Trust, in partnership with the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles, also hosts a library of webinars and guidance documents focussing on the challenges that authorities face when installing charging infrastructure, while promoting the available funding.<\/p> In early 2022, in collaboration with the Institution of Engineering and Technology, we will publish an EV infrastructure guide for local authority EV officers, to assist with the transition to ZEVs. This guide will cover the steps needed to take in order to deploy chargepoints for residents. Scottish local authorities were involved in the scoping of the document and will be asked to comment at consultation stage in due course.<\/p> The Government wants to ensure that drivers can benefit from the transition to zero emission vehicles. The On-Street Residential Chargeoint Scheme (ORCS) is available to all UK local authorities to provide public chargepoints for their residents without access to private parking. £20 million is available in 2021-22 to UK local authorities through the On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
