DH - Practice-based commissioning budget guidance for 2010/11 - 14 Jan

Source
PCTs are responsible for ensuring that practices receive an indicative budget that reflects the needs of their population as accurately as possible. This allows a practice to access a 'fair share' of the resources available to the whole of the PCT for its patients. The Department has updated the toolkit that can be used to determine weighted capitation indicative budgets at practice level. This is part of our ongoing commitment to refine the methodology and improve accuracy.

To accompany the toolkit we have also produced guidance which sets out:

• Details on the changes to the recommended methodology for deriving practices' fair shares for 2010/11
• Information on how to use the new budget toolkit

Any questions about the toolkit, or the content of the guidance, can be sent to the PBC mailbox via the link below.
