Fig 1. NIHR CCRN funding (£/bed) in English acute NHS Trusts with Trusts sub-grouped as low (n = 35), as expected (n = 63) and, high (n = 42) mortality.

For each group, the mean and 95% CI funding are shown. The low mortality Trusts had significantly higher levels of CCRN funding than the as expected (p<0.0001) or high (p = 0.0001) mortality Trusts.
