Introduction to the Unit Costs Article database

30th October 2017

This database contains all articles from the Unit Costs of Health & Social Care reports since 2003 and we hope will become a useful resource for our users, as well as a repository of high-quality research in the area of health and social care.

Articles can be searched by category or date from the drop down menu or the free-text search box on the left of your screen.

We hope you find the database useful and welcome feedback from users.


These articles form part of the Unit Costs of Health & Social Care which is based on independent research commissioned and funded by the NIHR Policy Research Programme (Unit Costs of Health and Social Care 035/0093) with a small amount of additional resources from the Department for Education. The views expressed are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of the departments.
