Code of conduct for Payment by Results: from 1 April 2010 (22nd February 2010)
This Code of Conduct (the Code) is aimed at all commissioners and providers, including those from the independent sector - and other bodies with regulatory and/or performance management responsibilities - operating within the PbR system, but without prejudice to any future Government decision on extending the scope of PbR. Its purpose is to establish the principles that should govern organisational behaviour under PbR and set expectations as to how the system should operate. In this way, the Code of Conduct should minimise as well as guide the resolution of disputes under PbR.
