Foreword
This is the tenth 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 aim is to improve unit cost
estimates over time, drawing on material as it becomes
available, including ongoing and specially commissioned
research.
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,
quoting sources and assumptions so users can adapt the
information for their own purposes. Brief articles are
included to provide background to user services, descriptions
of cost methodology or use of cost estimates.
The editorial identifies the new developments in estimates
included and key current issues in the estimation of
costs and use of the information provided in this report.
In addition, this report relies 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. Thanks are due to Jennifer Beecham, Frank
Brown, Keith Childs and John Corrin. Thanks also

Grimshaw, Glen Harrison, Mike Newett, David Newnham,

grateful to Becky Sandhu who has provided both general
support and advice through several volumes.

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