PAYMENTS BY RESULTS TARIFF

Early day motion 1949, tabled 29 March 2006 by Rosie Cooper (Labour). Signed by 41 members.

That this House recognises that under the current Payment by Results Tariff arrangements, which are underpinned by the market forces factor adjustment, NHS trusts with newly or recently built facilities are unfairly penalised by only attracting an allocation based on average overhead costs; and, in order to avoid financially penalising clinically efficient, clean and modern facilities in favour of low cost inefficient provision, calls upon the Secretary of State for Health to correct this wholly unfair anomaly by adjusting funding allocations to such compromised NHS trusts.
