How is money spent on children's services?
Finance and activity data for the year 1999-2000 were used to identify the money spent on children's services in health and social care in a county with a population of 790,000. Total costs were almost pound 80m. Considerable amounts were spent on high cost, low volume activity. Local health and social care commissioners require this information to implement and monitor changes in children's services, particularly in light of the UK government proposals for children's trusts.
