Excess bed day Cost Information

NHS Improvement did not have the information requested.

Dear NHS Improvement,

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act regarding the information in this report - Reference costs 2017/18: highlights, analysis and introduction to the data published in November 2018 found using the following link- https://improvement.nhs.uk/documents/197...
On page 5 of this report under Acute Services, there is a cost provided for Excess Bed days for 15/16,16/17 and 17/18.

However, in the new version of this document Reference Costs 2018/19: highlights, analysis, and introduction to the data published in January 2020 found using the following link https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/up... the same information on excess bed days is not published for 18/19.
Would it be possible if you could provide the updated cost for an Excess bed day for 18/19 and if available the updated cost for 19/20?

Could you also possibly provide any up to date information on the total cost of excess bed days in the NHS and if possible could this data be split by trust?

Yours faithfully,
Charlotte Hart
