Abstract



Introduction and Aims


Since the recent introduction of “Payment by Results” as part of NHS financial reforms, it has been noted that there is an imbalance between allocated Healthcare Resource Group tariffs and actual resource use for certain procedures. This study was undertaken to assess the impression that bilateral breast reconstruction using autologous flaps is under-funded.
