Cost Benefit Analysis – overview Outline • Background • Overview of methodology • Some examples How does CBA support Public Service Reform? • CBA can be used to deliver: – Informed decision-making – Cost-effective decision-making – Equitable decision-making Background • GM Spatial Pilots – Early Years and Better Life Chances • Phase 1 Community Budgets • Other partnership approaches • Greater use of Payment by Results and novel investment models • Whole Place Community Budgets Greater Manchester CBA methodology What role can CBA play in decision making? • Economic tool to assess whether interventions represent value for money • Calculates the ratio of benefits to cost • Decision support tool Financial return on investment ratio: 0 1 Not financially justified 2 3 Financially justified 4….. What do we mean by costs and benefits? All additional costs needed to deliver project • Fiscal • Social • Benefits Economic Fiscal Costs Economic Social Types of benefits Example Employment mentoring programme for people with mental health problems Programme to tackle antisocial behaviour Fiscal benefits Public Value benefits Reduction in unemployment payments as individuals gain employment Increased output resulting from increased employment Reduction in police, housing and local authority time spent responding to incidents. Improved health with related impacts on well-being (e.g. confidence and self esteem) Opportunity cost of avoided time spent by public sector agencies. Increased patronage of local businesses resulting in net growth in local economy once displacement has been taken into account. Reduced fear of crime amongst local residents. Drug treatment programme Savings in reactive health and criminal justice costs emergency hospital visits, long term health costs, responses to crime. Opportunity cost of avoided time spent by public sector agencies. Improved health and life expectancy of individual Different approaches/uses of CBA? • The approach taken for CBA will depend on what decisions need to be made – e.g. – For individual public sector agencies the priority is likely to be on making savings to their future reactive spend requirements in order to meet the challenge of reducing budgets fiscal focus – For government as a whole: the priority is often on overall growth and prosperity public value focus – For charities and their funders the priority may be focussed on certain aspects of a project and the impact on people’s lives Focus on specific social outcomes • Regardless of the focus, we should consider all types of benefits.
