Cost Benefit Analysis – overview Outline • Background • Overview of methodology • Some examples How does CBA support Community Budgets? • 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 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 Benefit cost 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 Fiscal benefits Savings to the taxpayer – e.g. reduced health service, police or education costs; Economic benefits Gains to: • individuals – e.g. increased earnings or • the whole economy – e.g. increased Gross Value Added (GVA) due to higher skills levels Social benefits Gains to society – e.g. improved health and wellbeing or increased community cohesion Types of benefits Example: Fiscal benefits Economic benefits Social benefits Employment mentoring for individuals with mental health problems Reduction in unemployment payments as individuals gain employment Improved Increased income of confidence, self individuals gaining esteem and employment reduced isolation of individual Initiative to tackle Antisocial Behaviour Reduction in police, housing and local Increased authority time spent patronage of local responding to businesses incidents Reduced fear of crime of residents Drug treatment programme Savings in reactive health costs – Reduced outgoings Emergency hospital spent on drugs visits, long term health costs 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 Greater Manchester: the priority is on making savings to the public sector the meet the challenge of reducing fiscal focus budgets – For governments as a whole decisions may be needed to determine the best way to maintain and improve economic focus standards of living – Charities (and their funders) are most interested in social focus improvements to people’s lives • Regardless of the focus, we should consider all 3 types of benefits.
