Inevitably there is a price the PCT pays a hospital if someone turns up DOA (Dead on Arrival). That price for 6-7 is £71.
There is a ratchet effect on emergencies (I suppose you wouldn't have an elective DOA) so only 50% of the tariff counts in a cash sense - £35.50.
We have had some luck in getting info about the Czech experience which was that a tariff encouraged Hospitals to press the payment button.
It remains that the tariff has assumed 2.5% efficiency savings. That is part of Gershon, but remains challenging.
