The 'expected benefits' of PbR include: improved commissioning and more productive and outcome focussed discussions between commissioners and providers; more investment in clinically and costeffective interventions; greater use of benchmarking; more innovation, market entry and competition; improvements in efficiency; and greater choice for service users.
