Summary

The purpose of the indicative activity plan (IAP) reporting specification is to enable the interchange, in a uniform format, of contract plans between commissioners and providers of healthcare.

This will ensure that the interchange of contract plans is consistent across all organisations.

The change in name from price activity matrix (PAM) has been made in order to match national planning guidance and reflect the new financial landscape.
