Healthcare Resource Groups; Payment by Results; HM Treasury's Cross Cutting Review (full cost recovery)

This information paper has been produced on behalf of the National Partnership Group for Palliative Care and sets out the situation regarding Healthcare Resource Groups and Payment by Results and the understanding of how these will operate in the specialist palliative care field as at the date of drafting. Although prepared primarily for the information of the specialist palliative care voluntary sector, the paper will also be of interest to the statutory sector, including commissioners and NHS specialist palliative care service providers.
