Organisations are reminded that although the financial incentive will only be earnable on up to five indicators, performance data should be submitted for all indicators relevant to the services which you are commissioned to deliver.

In the quarter 1 collection, you will be asked to confirm a) those indicators which are included in your financial incentive and b) all indicators which are relevant to the service you are commissioned to deliver, so will be submitting data for.

There should not be a scenario where an acute Trust does not confirm that they will be submitting data for the acute specific indicators. If those submitting data have any questions about this, please contact e.cquin@nhs.net
