The point is not whether the tarriff includes one level of First to Follow ups and the commissioners want more. The question is "Have all of these Trusts actually met the Tarriff level of FtFs across all relevent specialties?". If, as I strongly suspect, the answer is no then they have work to do internally before asking for a sub.

A further point is that, if this additional cost stems from their research work, the research bodies should be funding it not the NHS.
