State Only Block Funded Services. These represent state based services that are not subject to Commonwealth funding contribution under the National Health Reform Agreement (i.e. “out of scope” for Commonwealth funding). These services include; • Public and Population Health, Aboriginal Health and other Community Health based programs as well as non-health related services; • Privately referred Non-Admitted services which do not have activity targets and therefore are not included in the ABF allocation. A block allocation for these services has been included in the State Only Block section and has been set using the cost reported in the most recent full year DNR clinical costing study; • Also included are amounts which have been excluded for pricing such as Public Private Partnerships (PPP) interest, Isolated Patients Travel and Accommodation Assistance Scheme (IPTAAS), S100 drugs and Blood products. Districts are also responsible for determining the allocation of activity and budgets to their individual hospitals and other services, noting the state-wide priorities identified in Part A of this Service Agreement.

The 2020-21 budget also reflects changes arising from the implementation of the Australian Accounting Standard (AASB 16) relating to leases. This does not impact the total expense budget but reallocates between lines, particularly, depreciation. Districts are also responsible for determining the allocation of activity and budgets to their individual hospitals and other services, noting the state-wide priorities identified in Part A of this Service Agreement.
