I think the answer is Clinical Budgeting - or something like it.
Microbiology services in Carlisle are provided by PHLS and the
Acute Trust and Primary Care Trusts get what they pay for as
agreed in contracts.
In contrast Biochemistry and Haematology are provided in the usual
open access way and we have no workload sensitive contacts.
Guess which lab's test workload is growing at 14% per annum and
whose is growing at 5% ?
