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.

therefore occasionally it may appear that the totals
do not add up.
