2026/27 NHS Payment Scheme consultation - Accepting or rejecting the proposed NHS Payment Scheme - NHS England

Accepting or rejecting the proposed NHS Payment Scheme

The 2012 Health and Social Care Act, amended in 2022, provides that NHS England cannot publish the NHS Payment Scheme if either of the objection thresholds has been met without engaging with those who have objected to discuss their concerns in more detail (see Annex CnA of the consultation notice for more details).

The objection thresholds are based on responses from authorised responders, submitting responses on behalf of commissioners and relevant providers. However, all responses, including objections and reasons for them, will be carefully considered and inform decisions about the 2026/27 NHS Payment Scheme.

We have identified authorised responders for every relevant organisation and have sent a link of this survey to them. If you are unsure about who your organisation’s authorised responder is, please contact england.pricingenquiries@nhs.net
