Foreword

This is the fifteenth volume in a series of reports from a Department of Health-funded programme of work
based at the Personal Social Services Research Unit at the University of Kent.

The costs reported always reflect, to a greater or lesser degree, work in progress, as the intention is to refine and improve estimates wherever possible, drawing on a wide variety of sources. The aim is to provide
as detailed and comprehensive information as possible and to improve unit cost estimates over time, drawing on material as it becomes available, including ongoing and specially commissioned research and quoting sources and assumptions so users can adapt the information for their own purposes.

In putting the report together, there are a large number of individuals who have provided direct input in the form of data, permission to use material and background information and advice.

Grateful thanks are extended especially to Ann Netten who has been an invaluable source of support in the
preparation of this report. I would also like to extend special thanks to Glen Harrison and Nick Brawn for taking expert charge of the design and typesetting.

Thanks are also due to James Barlow, Barbara Barrett, Rosalyn Bass, Steffen Bayer, Jennifer Beecham, Gill
Bellord, Sarah Byford, Richard Curry, Keith Derbyshire, Alexa Fernandez, Matthew Fiander, Nick Grangel, Jennifer Heigham and Jane Hendy. Thanks also to Martin Knapp, David Lloyd, Anne Mason, David McDaid, Neil Parkinson, Tony Rees, Stephen Richards, Richard Robinson, Katherine Robbins, Tim Roast, Rob Shaw, David Stevens, Rob Stones, Andy Sutherland, Marian Taylor, Ryan Thompson, David
Wall, Helen Weatherly and Raphael Wittenberg.

Many figures in this report have been rounded and therefore occasionally it may appear that the totals
do not add up.
