July 2025 monthly summary for NHSDigital/e-referrals-service-api: Delivered ODS APIGEE validation and allowlist enforcement based on ODS codes, introducing a new attribute 'euo_allowlist_required' to the product macro and manifest template. Implemented comprehensive integration tests in test_user_restricted.py to validate user-restricted access behavior across ODS header scenarios (valid, invalid, missing, empty). This work strengthens data security, supports regulatory compliance, and improves auditability of access control for patient referrals. No major bugs fixed were documented in this scope.

June 2025 focused on stabilizing release baselines across two e-referrals services to enable upcoming features, while maintaining strict release discipline and traceability. No functional changes were introduced this month; the work centered on version bumps, documentation, and cross-repo coordination to support downstream development and API consumer planning.
