Foreword
This is the fourteenth 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.
The Unit Costs report starts this year with a preface
in which new developments and new services are discussed.
This is followed, for the first time this year, by a
guest editorial by Anita Patel on conducting and interpreting
multi-national economic evaluations (Patel, 2006). Then,
as in previous years, we have included four short articles
which provide background to user services, descriptions
of cost methodology or use of cost estimates.
In putting the report together, we rely on a large
number of individuals who have provided direct input
in the form of data, permission to use material and
background information and advice.
