I would like to receive a response with the amount of money achieved by practice please.

Response

If a practice scored full points for the patient experience domain (ie 70 points), it would attract a raw payment of £5425.00 in 2004/5 (70 points multiplied by £77.50 per point).  Strictly speaking, it is impossible to say how this would be affected by list size as the list size adjustment is not applied to individual domain payments but the entire raw achievement payment as the last step in calculating a practice's actual achievement payment.  However, the attached table shows how payments for the patient experience domain would be affected by the differing list sizes if the adjustment were applied to individual domains.

NB The adjustment of a payment by list size is as follows:

1. List size adjustment factor is calculated by dividing the practice's list size by the national average list size, specified as 5891 for 2004/5 (ie practice list size/5891).
2. The list size adjustment factor is then applied to the raw payment (ie list size adjustment factor * raw payment).
