NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE/I) have released the formal statutory consultation on the national tariff payment system (NTPS) for 2020/21. Alongside the consultation notice, there are a series of documents explaining the proposed changes. These documents follow a pre-engagement survey carried out in November 2019. The consultation is open now until 22 January 2020.

NHS Providers will be responding formally to this consultation. We encourage trusts to respond to the consultation individually, and to provide feedback to us. If you have any questions on this briefing or our work in this area, please contact Patrick Garratt, David Williams or Adam Wright.
