Data on the 37 acute hospitals which participate in the national case mix programme are detailed in the following table. These data are based on audited costs and activity for 2003, the latest full year for which data are available. Data for 2004 will be audited during the year for release in January 2006.
The case mix adjusted base price for inpatients and day cases is the average cost of a case when all national data have been aggregated and takes into account each hospital's unique mix of cases and differing complexities, that is, the base price is the cost of treating the same type of case in each hospital. Bed day costs do not take account of complexity and are simply an expression of total costs divided by total bed days. Bed day costs relate to inpatients only.
