Activity and Budget Allocation. The DHW will monitor actual activity against commissioned levels. The overall activity is capped and the LHN will not be paid for additional activity unless explicitly agreed. • The LHN has the freedom to move activity to other service areas within the activity type as determined by the need of the population or service requirements within the National Weighted Activity Units (NWAU) allocation. • If the LHN wishes to move activity between commissioned activity types and levels (for example, activity moving from acute to outpatient) the LHN must negotiate this with DHW based on a sound needs based rationale. • Activity caps will be monitored at activity type level that will include any specific adjustments have been made. Monitoring will occur through the Performance Review Meetings, and as part of the overall performance framework will form the basis of ongoing discussions with the LHN. • It is the responsibility of the LHN to flow total activity allocations monthly based on seasonality and other trends. • The LHN has a responsibility to actively monitor variances from commissioned activity levels, and to notify the DHW of any potential variance and to take appropriate action to avoid variance exceeding agreed tolerances. • The LHN will notify the DHW of deliberate changes to the consistent recording of activity within the year that would result in activity moving between commissioned activity types and levels. • Any resulting changes to funding and commissioned activity levels will be actioned through the processes outlined in the Agreement.
