Is it considered on a per item or per procedure basis or is it about obtaining a certain number of theatre hours or CT scan hours or a certain amount of diagnostic capacity? Is it a matter of a certain amount of money for a certain procedure, with a reduction if a certain amount is bought? I am confused about that. I have been looking at this for a while and it strikes me that not much value for money auditing, if any at all, is carried out. If it is carried out, that is very confusing. Will Mr. Woods talk me through that?
