Abstract
This is the latest updated volume in a well-established series bringing together information from a variety of sources to estimate national unit costs for a wide range of health and social care services. This report consists of tables for approaching 100 types of service which, as well as providing the most detailed and comprehensive information possible, also quotes sources and assumptions so users can adapt the information for their own purposes. This year we have included a guest editorial: Agency staff in the NHS; and two articles: Costs of the Well London programme and PUCC: The Preventonomics Unit Cost Calculator. There is also a new schema providing the costs of the Geriatric Care Management Model (GRACE) and new information has been added to the Adoption and GP schemas. Changes have also been made to further improve the costs of NHS overheads and environmental costs have been extended to appear in the mental health hospital services schema
