       What amount of saving delivered by early detection of Low risk
       upper gastrointestinal bleeding patients?
       Estimated £13.6 million for UK (estimated £11.3 million for
       England) or £22,700 per 100,000 population. Given the different
       purchasing provider split in the NHS in the UK (outside
       Scotland) then the non-payment for a hospital admission via a
       Healthcare Resource Group would free up cash for the
       commissioners but the net result would need to be a reduction in
       provision of acute hospital beds. In the NHS in Scotland there
       would be marginal cost savings in terms of reduced provision of
       emergency endoscopy sessions and equipment only which are
       unlikely to lead to cash savings as these patients are often
       endoscope on routine service lists which are already funded.
