There are ever greater demands from a population with (rightly) high expectations, and fewer resources available, it is so important to understand what you get for the money you spend. Resources for Social Care, Housing, Education, Justice, Enforcement (policing), Health and everything else are being squeezed – Local Authorities have seen reductions in available resources as bad as 27% reduction, and the National Health Service (NHS) recognises that increased demands from an older, fatter, less active population will push demands up by maybe 20% for the same available resources.
I believe that Social Return on Investment can contribute substantially to this.
