Doing PBMA PBMA approaches needs assessment by asking five questions about resources: 1.What resources are available in total? 2.In what ways are these resources currently spent? 3.What are the main candidates for more resources and what would be their effectiveness and cost? 4.Are there any areas of care which could be provided to the same level of effectiveness but with less resources, so releasing those resources to fund candidates from (3)? 5.Are there areas of care which, despite being effective, should have less resources because a proposal from 3. is more effective (for £s spent)?
