REMEMBER - cost reductions of over 10% have been achieved in those areas that have used care costing models as part of managing the market.

Each participant will need to bring a laptop PC with Microsoft Office software capable of running Excel 2000.

 

 

 

 

The Regional Centres of Excellence are supporting the development of a national care costing toolkit. 

 

Development of this toolkit will be managed through a project board with representation from senior service managers from the North West. 

 

The toolkit will be officially launched in late March 2008 and will be free of charge to local authorities.

 

Latest information is that over 50 authorities around the country want to use the toolkit and have started to train staff in the process. 

 

So that north west authorities can take part in the pilot stage of the project, the NWCE is holding two half day familiarisation events on October 30, 2007 at the Birchwood Centre, Warrington.

 

Places at the event will be strictly limited to two representatives from each local authority - attendance at will enable authorities to sign up for the pilot phase.
