Under the Health and Social Care Act 2012, NHS England and Monitor will have joint responsibility (from 2014/15) for the whole NHS payment system in England, including both national prices and local contracts. Based on more than 30 interviews with local commissioners, this research paper assesses how effective local contracts have been in delivering more for patients. The findings from this research have helped to inform the rules and guidance proposed in Monitor's 2014/15 'National Tariff Payment System: a consultation notice' on local payments for services without a nationally mandated price. It will also help to inform Monitor's future programme of work. (Edited publisher abstract)
