Monitor and NHS England published the National tariff Payment System Engagement Documents on 15 July, which also included indicative draft prices for 2015-16. While some draft prices proposed for 2015-16 were higher than the previous year, there were also reductions in prices. Following consultation with commissioners, providers, clinicians and service users, the best practice tariff for renal care is being reviewed. Final prices will be published alongside the 2015-16 National tariff Payment System Consultation Notice later this year.
