A3.17 This simply involves multiplying each score by the weight for the relevant criterion. Thus weighted, the scores are totalled to obtain an aggregate weighted score for each option.
Example: Combining the last two examples results in the following weighted scores:
| Option P | Option Q | Option R | Option S |
No. of cases treated | 5x40 = 200 | 10x40 = 400 | 12x40 = 480 | 15x40 = 600 |
Waiting Time | 8x30 = 240 | 12x30 = 360 | 14x30 = 420 | 16x30 = 480 |
Patient access | 10x20 = 200 | 10x20 = 200 | 15x20 = 300 | 15x20 = 300 |
Disruption to services | 15x10 = 150 | 5x10 = 50 | 5x10 = 50 | 10x10 = 100 |
Total Weighted Score: | 790 | 1,010 | 1,250 | 1,480 |
