Why does efficiency matter?
• The NHS needs to make unprecedented savings up to 2015 and beyond.
• As the Government tries to shift more care into the community, the pressure facing hospitals will be even greater.
• Improvements in hospital efficiency in England during previous times of financial constraint have come from treating more patients, as well as from saving money.

Key findings
• International comparisons suggest the UK still has some way to go to catch up with the best health systems
• There is scope for the considerable variation in performance across English hospitals to be reduced
• Commissioners should focus on how they can incentivise local hospitals into adopting good practice.
• New technology holds the greatest potential for increasing productivity
• Merging hospitals will not automatically lead to efficiency savings
• The report reaffirms the crucial role that good management plays in achieving high productivity.
