The Department published a suite of documents on its website on 16 February 2012 to support the implementation of the Payment by Results national tariff for 2012-13. This included ‘Payment by Results Guidance’ for 2012-13, section 13 of which sets out guidelines for the application of local flexibilities to national tariffs.

The Department also published on 16 February 2012 a ‘Code of Conduct for Payment by Results in 2012-13’, section 10 of which refers to the application of flexibilities.

Both documents have been placed in the Library.
