What SMPI is (3): 

What SMPI is (3) The answer is expressed: In today’s money As a single figure It is approximate It is not a replacement for advice

Implications (1): 

Implications (1) Significant costs and time pressure for providers The words will be as important as the numbers Volatility from year to year 'Shock horror' first time round?
