Draft PSTC Version 1.0 Page 13 of 15 Last printed 15/10/2015

14 If the total value of services actually provided (b) is less than the total amount already invoiced during the period (c) per purchase unit, then this difference must be repaid to Waikato DHB. Over-delivery of FTE In the interests of maximising service provision, in situations where there may be over-delivery of a purchase unit within a reported six-month period, this may be considered against an under-delivery of the same purchase unit within the balance of the financial year (1 July 30 June). It is noted that this is a capped agreement and that there is no requirement for additional payment if the services provided within the 12-month period exceed the amount in the payment schedule. Recovery of funds [Insert Provider Name] will be invoiced for the amount of recovery as established above. In the event of non-payment of this invoice, Waikato DHB retains the right to offset outstanding monies owing against future funding payments due to [Insert Provider Name], or to follow standard debt recovery processes.
