In the case of the Eastern Regional Health Authority — health boards, including the NAHB, SWAHB and ECAHB, the figures do not include the cost of patients that are accommodated in contract beds where the full cost of the bed is paid by the health board. The practice of buying contract beds has been discontinued in the ERHA area.
