Abstract: |
Early intervention services have existed in England for more than a decade. This article examines whether they deliver the cost savings and cost effectiveness to justify them. It suggests that current evidence points to early intervention services providing cost savings and cost effectiveness, but more research is needed to clarify the conclusions. It concludes that much of the cost saving can be made in terms of increased economic activity and reduced crime, as well as reducing costs in health care settings. |
