Health and social care
Our aim is to provide robust and independent analysis through applying economic principles to the wide range of policy issues in this sector. Our experience to date has focussed on the social care sector, including both adult and children’s services, and the interface between health and social care services.
We have advised on local authority charges for social care services; on the provision of respite services for adults and children across both the health and social care sectors; and on the allowance and fee payments made to foster carers.
We have also developed a strong track record in bringing the views of service users and their carers to the forefront of our analysis, making use of web-based surveys, focus groups and face to face and telephone interviews.
