The CCG has interpreted your question to relate to Diagnostic Imaging only; there are other Diagnostic services (e.g. laboratory tests which we have not included in our response).
The majority of our Diagnostic Imaging sits within the STHFT contract – the figures below reflect draft year-end expenditure for 18/19 as we do not yet have the final information at this level.
- Unbundled Diagnostic Imaging (carried out in an Outpatient Setting) £4,150,784
- Direct Access Diagnostic Imaging (carried out in a hospital setting under Direct Access arrangements) £4,137,822
- Imaging included within the contract for MSK (as per Q.2) £309,347
- In addition to this there will be Unbundled Imaging and Direct Access Imaging expenditure at a number of other hospitals not included above
