- Subject
- COVID Treatment Costs
- Description
I would like to know the average (mean, median & SD) financial cost of treating a “standard” COVID-19 patient in
(a) a general bed/ward(b) in critical care
- Response
This information is not currently available as the patient level costs for the financial year 2019/20 will not be finalised until the end of October, however there would only be approximately 2 weeks of the financial year where Covid patients were being treated. The biggest impact in terms of Covid cases will be seen in the 2020/21 financial year, and we will only be looking to process the first quarter of 2020/21 by the end of the calendar year.
