Private Patient Income Cap - revised and updated rules
Published on: 10 February 2010
Monitor sets out in this document revised rules and guidance on how the Private Patient Income Cap (‘the PPI Cap’) should be operated by NHS foundation trusts with effect from 1 April 2010. This follows the High Court judgment of December 2009 which determined that the previous interpretation by Monitor of the income that should be included as private patient income for the purposes of the PPI Cap was not valid.

Monitor has in the available timescales discussed these proposals and received limited representation from interested parties, and where appropriate we have reflected those in our revised guidance.
The document (available to download above), which applies from 1 April 2010, includes draft rules which will in due course be incorporated in a revised Financial Reporting Manual (FReM) for 2010/11, some examples of income treatment for PPI Cap purposes, anti-avoidance principles and transitional arrangements.
