I refer my hon. Friend to the reply I have her on 25 November, 2013, Official Report, column 160W.

Monitor and NHS England published Methodology Discussion Paper on the 23 April 2014, which is available at:

where the sector can provide feedback on the 2015/16 national tariff payment system. A copy has been placed in the Library.

The sector will have further opportunities to comment and provide evidence during the summer of 2014 prior to the final tariff publication. Services which have been subject to local price setting will also be reviewed for the local pricing arrangements as part of the review for 2015-16 and 2016-17.
