Ways of making savings

Bacon slicing

Targeting savings at less efficient areas

BenchmarkingReference costs/programme budgeting

Service line reporting

Streamlining processes ² internally and across

organisations

Ensuring income due is collected

Stopping doing things which are ineffective



15

But the reality is

Approx 70% of costs are pay each year we will

have to

Reduce the staffingOr reduce the pay bill

Or treat more patients without incurring

any additional staffing costs

And we won·t be able to completely stop new

investment/cost pressures which means we

will have to make higher savings than 4%



16

Service line reporting

Allocate activity, income and costs to

specialities

Cost allocation includes

Direct costs

Indirect costs

Corporate overheads

This gives profitability by speciality

Options for less profitable specialities

Divest or make more efficient
