Payment by Results: Update and discussion paper

Discussion paper covering developments in PbR. Guest contributors include Jon Sussex, Deputy Director of the Office of Health Economics, and Paul Linsey, a senior mental health practitioner.

This discussion paper was developed following a seminar on the development of Payment by Results (PbR). The aim is to provide an update on developments in PbR and stimulate further discussion on the issues raised by the two guest contributors, Jon Sussex (Deputy Director of Office of Health Economics) and Paul Linsey (a senior mental health practitioner and contributor to the early development of PbR in mental health). The speakers' presentations can be downloaded separately. This is the second RCN Policy Unit briefing about PbR; the first RCN PbR briefing was written in April 2005.
