Overview
The policy context
Progress to date for the mental health payment system
and implementation in 2013-14
What’s new for 2014-15?
Progress in payment reform for other mental health
services

Future of tariff
Responsibility for 2014-15 and beyond rests with NHS England and
Monitor, and the Health and Social Care Act sets out their duties:
Monitor clauses:
• General duties:
• To protect and promote the interests of people
who use health care services
• To promote provision of health care services
which is economic, efficient and effective
• To maintain or improve the quality of services
• To enable integrated care
• Monitor must also have regard to:
• Maintaining patient safety
• Desirable continuous improvement
• Commissioning fair access to services based on
clinical need and making best use of resources
• Providers cooperating to improve quality
• Promoting research
• High standards for education and training
NHSE clauses:
• Requirements including:
• To adhere to the overall budget mandated by the
SoS
• To exercise its functions effectively, efficiently
and economically
• To exercise its functions with a view to securing
continuous improvement in quality of
services
• To promote commissioner and provider
autonomy
• To reduce inequality
• To promote patient involvement and choice
• To obtain appropriate advice
• To promote innovation
• To promote integration

New responsibilities…
From 2013/14:
1. NHS England responsible for tariff scope and
structure
2. Monitor responsible for price setting
3. Both organisations need to agree key decisions
4. DH team working as agents of NHSE and Monitor in
2013-14
So timing of the introduction of any national tariff and
currencies for other services is the responsibility of the
NHSCB and Monitor

The case for moving towards the
PbR type funding approach for mental health
• Mental health was the single biggest tranche of
secondary health care not covered by mandated
currencies and tariffs
• Investment around the country in mental health services
does not reflect local needs but historical block contracts
• Rising spend on acute and secure services mean that
investment on other mental health services is being
squeezed and is vulnerable to disinvestment
• Mental health services were characterised by a lack of
transparency in funding, care provision and outcomes
• Including mental health emerged as the leading
suggestion in DH consultation on future of PbR in 2007
• New approach can help support service transformation

Recovery
and policy
objectives
What’s been achieved nationally so far?
Care clusters made available for use – February 2010
Cost data collected on a cluster basis – September
2011
All service users allocated to care clusters – December
2011
Mental health currencies mandated for use in contracts
April 2012
10
Continuing the implementation in 2013-14 (1)
No national tariff 2013-14
Publication of indicative prices for each cluster period
Use of cluster period (rather than per diem) as the
contract currency
Require providers and commissioners to rebase their
contracts on to a cluster basis and submit these local
prices centrally
Begin to use quality & outcomes measures in contracts
Continue to have risk-sharing mechanisms in place
11
Continuing the implementation in 2013-14 (2)
(and beyond)
National algorithm published for use and feedback during 2013 –
a decision support tool for clustering
Working with those using the algorithm to identify any required
amendments
Monthly MHMDS data submissions to HSCIC and reports
Further data analysis from MHMDS for commissioners and
providers to support outcomes and quality indicators with new
tools April 2014
Work on complexity factors to inform cluster pricing
Work to look at alignment of clusters with diagnosis
Work on guidance to support choice of provider policy and
payment in the absence of a national tariff
Guidance for 2014-15 to support moving to a contract based on
cluster case load rather than income guarantee, with Q&O forming
part of the payment
12
Mental Health PbR in 2014-15
Timetable contracted for producing 2014-15 tariff
Monitor’s National Tariff document, published
for consultation on 3 October 2013
Final National Tariff document publication mid-December
Changes proposed for 2014-15:
1. No income guarantee, contracts based on cluster
caseload, with risk sharing, within caps and collars
2. Guidance to support choice of mental health provider
3. Paying for quality, mandating the use of some metrics
13
Local modifications
New for 2014-15 are local modifications can take the form
of agreements or applications. There are additional
requirements for applications
There are two
type of local
modifications
• Local modification agreements – agreed between
commissioner and provider
• Local modification applications – provider applies to
Monitor without the agreement of its commissioners
Conditions for
agreements
1.
Provider and commissioner agree that it is
uneconomic to provide specific services at
national price
2.
Provider and commissioner have considered
alternative means of providing the service
3.
14
Proposed local modification reflects
reasonably efficient cost for the service
Additional conditions for
applications
1.
Provider has tried to reach local modification
agreement
2.
Provider cannot cease to provide the service
3.
Provider has a deficit equal to or greater than
4% of revenues at an organisational level
Local variations
These allow commissioners and providers to agree
adjustments to prices, currencies or payment approaches
where it is in the interests of patients

The current payment system includes local ‘flexibilities’
We have updated the rules for agreeing local ‘flexibilities’, which are now
referred to as ‘local variations’
Local variations can be used to agree adjustments to prices, currencies or
payment approaches where it is in the interests of patients to support a
different service mix or delivery model. This includes:
1. bundling and unbundling of services with and without national prices;
2. delivery of care in new settings;
3. use of innovative clinical practices;
4. differences in patient casemix; and
5. arrangements to change the allocation of financial risk.
To agree a local variation, commissioners and providers must follow the
principles and the local variation must be published by the commissioner
What are the local price setting rules for 14-15?
General rules
Adhere to the principles of local prices (NEW)
must be in patients’ best interests
must promote transparency
must engage constructively
Have regard to NT efficiency and cost uplift factors
Use national currency if mandated
disclose local prices to Monitor (NEW)
if agree not to use the national currency follow LV rules on disclosure
and publication (NEW)
Specific rules apply to some services with nationally mandated currencies
(e.g. using the MH clustering tool). These must be followed regardless of
whether providers and commissioners deviate from using the national
currency as a basis of payment
16
Development of other services
CAMHS
1. pilots collecting data on resource usage using CYP IAPT dataset
2. some draft clusters but will be reviewed after pilots
3. currencies available in 2014/15
Forensic services
1. Testing proposed clustering approach
2. Currencies available in 2014/15
Learning Disabilities
1. Data collection to test clustering approach
2. Decision required on way forward
Psychological medicine
1. Benchmarking survey undertaken further work now underway
Aim is to have alignment with the care cluster approach
