Relationship to NHS England and NHS Improvement’s National Cost Collection (NCC) outputs
NHS England and NHS Improvement’s Costing Transformation Programme includes a phased replacement of annual aggregate costing data submissions with Patient Level Information and Costing System (PLICS) record level collections.
During the transition to patient level collections, some data continues to be collected by NHS England and NHS Improvement at aggregate level including data from the ambulance service on the Isle of Wight.
Historically the aggregate data collection was known as Reference Costs. From 2018-19, the patient level and aggregate collections are together referred to as the National Cost Collection (NCC).
Data combined to form NCC outputs
The NCC is currently the official source of costing data for NHS activity in England, and analysis from the collection is published by NHS England and NHS Improvement.
The ambulance data in the NCC publication will bring together the PLICS Ambulance data and all relevant aggregate data.
The interactive PLICS Portal made available to providers by NHS England and NHS Improvement includes PLICS data only.
