The big issue with funding

This chart shows the average cost per decile in funding for 2020-2021. What is fascinating about this chart is that it is controlled for SIL status, age, disability type and presentation intensity. Essentially, this chart isolates the variation that is produced by individual circumstances, interpretations of “reasonable and necessary”, and intra-planner variation. In a nutshell, this chart shows that plans vary wildly even when controlling for intensity, disability type, age and SIL Status.
