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.
