Statutory guidance: NHS National Tariff Payment System 2016/17

Updated: We've updated the 2016/17 national prices and national tariff enquiry log.

Monitor and NHS England’s 2016/17 National Tariff Payment System will come into effect from 1 April 2016.

This year’s national tariff aims to give providers of NHS services the space to restore financial balance and support providers and commissioners to make ambitious longer term plans for their local health economies.

We believe the tariff will help providers and commissioners to work together to manage demand and deliver services more efficiently.

Supporting documents

We’ve also published a number of supporting documents that can be read alongside our proposals for the 2016/17 national tariff:

A guide to the market forces factor

Provides information on the calculation and application of the market forces factor, a nationally determined variation to the national price, in 2016/17.
