But Local Context - Population Based Funding (PBF) Determines our share of health funding based on: our population weightings for unmet need rural adjuster overseas visitor adjuster Tertiary Adjuster Inter District Flows
Advantages of PBF Almost all funding at a local level to enable: innovative models of care and service delivery optimising use of resources and future investment integration of services and funding systems approach across services focus on health outcomes innovative contracting
Disadvantages of PBF Canterbury DHB ‘overfunded’ Prices paid for inter district flows Prioritisation and targeting of resources Doesn’t determine the size of the pool - just relative shares X
