I wonder if what is coming instead to replace this and placate the markets is a ‘commitment’ to a major tax reform as per recent report from @danneidle.bsky.social et al.

A long time ago I did a big piece of work for DH on impact of the then ISTC programme of referral flows and choice. TLDR: nothing significant

and this one is interesting. It takes average score and plots it against rank and coloured by segment. This shows the effect of the financial deficit yes/no flag forcing deficit trusts into segment 3 and a lower ranking. So there are two Trusts who would be near top of segment 1 but for deficit.

It is not for patients. The fact that if a Trust fails the financial flag it is cannot be above segment 3 and its rank is adjusted accordingly. Patients not interested in financial position by and large.

In this set of metrics a Trust in deficit cannot be above segment 3 'A Yes/No flag to indicate if the trust is in financial deficit or in receipt of deficit support (when a trust is flagged as Yes, their segment can be no higher than 3).

Interested that there are no weightings within or between domains. This implies that an MRSA infection and a late discharge survey score have identical impact.
