Important points

The survey is open for anyone to respond to. 'Authorised responders' (specific people at each provider and commissioner of NHS-funded services) have been asked to respond on behalf of their organisation, but all responses will be carefully considered. If you have any questions about authorised responders, please contact england.pricingenquiries@nhs.net

Your response will not be counted unless it has been submitted. When you have answered all the questions that you want to, please submit your response before the closing date.

We may publish the responses we receive to this survey. If we do so, we will indicate which organisations we received responses from but not the names or roles of respondents.

This Word version of the survey is published to help you collate responses within your organisation. Please do not use this document to return comments to us.

If you require any assistance, please contact: england.pricingenquiries@nhs.net
