Abstract:

Preface The aim of this study is to ascertain the full costs of providing welfare services through a voluntary agency. To ascertain full costs is to take into consideration not only those costs concerned with actual fiscal outlay but also the imputed costs of providing services by volunteers. While the scale of the research may be modest, the study will provide a useful start for future independent assessment of the costs of providing services through voluntary agencies. The availability of such data will enable a balanced assessment to be made of various public policy alternatives in the prov

Abstract:

Background The Sub-Saharan African region has sparse palliative care established to cater for patients facing life limiting conditions. In South Africa, costing frameworks for palliative care interventions for the public sector do not exist and the cost of running a comprehensive palliative care programme remains unknown. There are few costing studies to inform costs of palliative care models which are necessary for decision makers to base their decisions on. The aim of this study was to determine the costs and cost drivers for hospital based consultative palliative care service (HBPCS) in Sou

Abstract:

In Ukraine, the largest user of natural resources is the agricultural complex. About 60% of the country's lands are used for agricultural purposes. During the years of independence, the system of land use in agriculture has completely changed. Emergence of a large number of owners and lessees of farmland increases the range of stakeholders in Agriculture and Natural Resources. New land users, in most cases, have no agronomic knowledge and take land and agro-ecosystems as a source of quick profits. Farmland cannot be considered only as an economic object, place to work and receive products or

This thesis examines the implications of the changes introduced by the NHS and Community Care Act 1990 for mental health services. It focuses on two main issues. Firstly, the impact on mental health services of the 'market' system of purchasers and providers introduced by the 1990 Act. Second.ly, the extent to which the 1990 changes had led to any increase in user participation and involvement in the planning and delivery of psychiatric services.

Families play a key role in psychiatric emergency services (PES).
