Foreword
This is the sixteenth 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 Jacques Ashley, James Barlow, Barbara Barrett,
Rosalyn Bass, Jennifer Beecham, Gill
Bellord, Sarah Byford, Adriana Castelli, Keith Derbyshire, Matthew Fiander,
Nick Grangel and Becky Henderson. Thanks also to Ben Hickman, Karen Jones, Martin Knapp,
David Lloyd, David McDaid, Neil Parkinson,
Tony Rees, Stephen Richards, Richard Robinson, Katherine
Robbins, Tim Roast, Rob Shaw, David Stevens, Rob Stones, Marian Taylor, Helen Weatherly, Richard Wistow
and Raphael Wittenberg.

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