      Might be that IHPA doesn't consider the state data they get reliable enough to ensure an accurate NWAU figure. Might be another tug of war between feds and state...lots of potential problems that aren't really expounded on

      Actually, after carefully reading through, I think the main issue is that NAP NWAU data were not adjusted for Indigenous status and remoteness until 2018-19. That would've lead to a reduction in the allocation of NWAU in places with lots of remote patients...

      ...So instead the commission inferred the weighted NWAU using service events + inpatient and ED data (which are weighted and have been for some time). Now that the weighting as been agreed on for NAP NWAU, and is being applied, the commission can use this data instead

      But, seems like NWAU with remoteness adjustment is quite a bit lower for remote areas than the inferred number. The main outcome here is NT and TAS losing ~60mil which is being given to VIC and NSW insteadpic.twitter.com/B79cxiw7Xc

      This is attributed to the fact that remote areas do not provide as many of these NAP services, and since NWAU is based primarily on the number of services provided (NOT the staff/resource cost), seeing less patients means fewer NWAU allocatedpic.twitter.com/cL2eVNCChp

      TBH, using the NAP NWAU data really seems to disadvantage the NT - they're losing $172 per person so that VIC and NSW can get $7 and $3 pp in return. Probably going to have a fairly big impact on NAP services in the NT!

      But they’re not using state data. They’re making up their own data assumptions based on admitted patients (Eg. ER). And that gives a false dataset for NAP

      Nah that's the old inferred number. They still used state data (AP, ED, service events), just not the NAP dataset itself. But now they're using the 18-19 NAP NWAU. It's all state data, just different ways of using it

      But state data is incorrect for NAP: multiple Vic outpatient services aren’t reporting data

      Sure, they say that the NAP NWAU data covers 86% of services. But this still advantages VIC, which is going to get an extra $7 pp for NAP services next year it appears. Given that's ~2.5% of the federal contribution to VIC, not sure it'll have a huge impact
