Currencies and tariffs
The Payment by Results (PbR) guidance for 2011-12 and supporting materials at www.dh.gov.uk/pbr will enable organisations to operate PbR and the national tariff in 2011-12.
As we noted in the guidance, it is neither desirable nor possible for this guidance to provide advice for every situation that arises locally, and in these circumstances, commissioners and providers are asked to exercise judgement in interpreting the guidance and come to a local agreement. Commissioners will wish to specify in contracts, and within PbR rules, what they will and will not pay for. For their part, providers will wish to ensure that the way they cost and charge for activity is consistent.
With this in mind, further questions about PbR should be directed as follows:
- PCTs and NHS trusts should contact
their SHA PbR leads
- NHS foundation trusts, SHAs and
other organisations should contact the PbR team via PbRComms@dh.gsi.gov.uk.
