Interesting section on NPAS and future costing
From April 2015 the NPAS objective is to establish new funding arrangements
introducing a standard pricing model with a fixed cost per hour of flying time. A paper
has been circulated to PCCs after discussion at the Strategic Governance Board on
19th June 2014. In that paper the cost per hour for WMP is likely to rise by
approximately 30% from the current £1200 per hour to a figure near £1600 per hour.
Although this is of concern, the fixed price per hour will ensure that the force is not
paying for hours that are not used.
