3.1.5 What are the estimated values of financial
coverage of Payment by Results in each year from 2004-05? (Q24)
Answer
1. Table 24 presents the estimate
of financial coverage of payment by results (PbR) in each year
from 2004-05 to 2009-10.
2. Estimates of the financial coverage of PbR
up until 2008-09 are based on activity in the appropriate year.
For 2009-10, the estimate is based on impact analysis of the tariff
using historical national activity data. There were limited changes
in the scope of PbR between 2008-09 and 2009-10, therefore changes
in financial coverage will be due to price inflation and activity.

| 1. All figures include market forces factor (MFF) paid to reflect local unavoidable costs.
|
| 2. Figures not directly comparable because of different scope of PbR in different years. In 2004-05, only early implementers of PbR were operating at full scope (elective, non-elective, outpatients and A&E). In 2005-06, non-early implementers operated at national tariff for elective activity only, moving to full scope in 2006-07. No significant scope changes since 2006-07.
