Monitor and NHS England call for views on how the NHS payment system can do more for patients

Health sector regulator Monitor and NHS England are working together to reform the way NHS services are paid for.
Hospitals are currently paid through the Payment by Results system, which has been in operation for nearly a decade and has delivered benefits. However feedback from the health sector is that the current system is not sufficiently patient focused, not always based on good quality information, and can act as a barrier to delivering integrated care.
