Tue, 10 Apr 2012 09:30:00 GMT http://www.isdscotland.org/Health-Topics/Finance/Publications/index.asp#968 http://www.isdscotland.org/Health-Topics/Finance/Publications/index.asp#966 Change to the methodology used to derive the "spend per head" indicators to reflect changes to the Cost Book data collection process. Health Board of Residence costs are no longer collected so Health Board of Treatment costs are used in this publication as an approximation. The new methodology has been retrospectively applied to previous year's data to enable comparison over time. Therefore, data in previous publications may differ from that presented in this publication.The average length of stay figures may be impacted by small numbers of cases with extremely long lengths of stay, discharged in the relevant year. For example, there are several cases discharged in 2010/11 with admission dates prior to 1960. Therefore year on year comparison should be interpreted with caution, although the length of stay 80% split is more robust to such outliers. In addition to this, the methodology employed for the average length of stay (80%) measure has been revised from previous years and consequently the length of stay figures may differ significantly from those reported in previous publications.

The following examples show the type of information available: Costs Book 2011 analyses £9.8 billion of board operating costs.NHSS is a major employer with a pay bill of over £4.9 billion for staff working in the hospital and community services.Almost £1.4 billion was spent by NHS boards on prescription drugs used in hospitals and dispensed in community pharmacies. This amounts to 14.6% of total operating costs and is the equivalent of £264 for every person in Scotland.The average cost of an attendance at an A&E outpatient consultant-led clinic is £103, while the average cost of treating a patient admitted to hospital for surgery is £3,039.

It is recommended that individual indicators should not be approached in isolation but interpreted in the context of the overall balanced view of the service.The key changes incorporated in this publication compared to the previous release of the toolkit are:addition of data on suicides within 30 days of dischargebreakdown of relative risk of death for severe and enduring mentally ill patients by natural and un-natural deathsaddition of data on defined daily doses to supplement the mental health drugs costs Tue, 31 May 2011 09:30:00 GMT http://www.isdscotland.org/Health-Topics/Finance/Publications/index.asp#806 http://www.isdscotland.org/Health-Topics/Finance/Publications/index.asp#733 Target shares are shown at NHS Board level. Adjustments for the age/sex, additional needs and unavoidable excess costs are shown at NHS Board level and small geographical areas within Boards. The shares shown within this publication are the TARGET shares produced by the NRAC formula and are not the final shares allocated to the NHS Boards. When the NRAC formula was introduced it was agreed to phase the new shares in over a period of time by way of differential growth, as had been the practice under the previous Arbuthnott and SHARE formulae. Under this methodology, all Boards continue to enjoy real-terms growth in their allocations year-on-year, with those below parity (i.e. below their target share) receiving more growth than those above parity until the new distribution is achieved over time. In this way no Board receives a reduction in core funding.

Costs Book 2010 presents a detailed breakdown of expenditure on health, covering over £9.7 billion of NHS spending on Hospital and Primary Care Services by the 14 territorial health boards, the State Hospital and the Golden Jubilee National Hospital. The published information is derived mainly from the financial and statistical data prepared as part of the annual accounts cycle and is unaudited.

The Scottish National Tariff for cross boundary flows covers acute (hospital) sector inpatients and day cases A combined rate is produced for elective inpatients and day cases and a separate rate is produced for non-elective inpatients Activities excluded from the tariff calculation include certain specialised services such as those funded by National Services Division (NSD), high cost low volume activity (e.g. defibrillator pacemaker implants).
