BBCSHA Wider View - no further activity (ie no more operations)

An interesting other point of this report is that for the BBCSHA area it is clear that Payment by Results is likely to result in the "price paid to BBCSHA trusts [] on average [rising] for no additional activity"

Because our PbR price is on average lower than general this will mean paying the hospitals more for no more work.

The SHA also wants increases in the proportion of funds spent on Primary Care (GPs) of 2% per year.

To me this does not really stack up properly.

ie we will move money out of the hospitals. The cost will go up for no more work and there will be bed cuts.

Lots of research into this has happened over the years and now I think it is clear why this is. It raises some interesting questions. Biological youth is about how well a cell functions. Cells that are old in a biological sense don't work that well. One of the ways in which cells stop working is they fail to produce the full range of proteins. Generally the proteins that are produced from longer genes stop being produced. The reason for this relates to how the Genes work (the Genome). Because the genome is not gettin
