Public Service Output, Input and Productivity: Quantity Measure of Children's Social Care Output
This article will describe in detail how children's social care is currently measured in the National Accounts and improvements to this measure.
This article explains the measure of the output of children's social care which is currently used in the National Accounts, and considers ways to extend the amount of children's social care services measured directly. Children’s social care expenditure in the UK is estimated at around £6.1 billion in 2006-07.
It is part of a wider work programme on public service output, input and productivity. Further articles on children’s social care and other public services will follow later in the year.
