QUESTION 105

The present range of costs per visit

  There are six Protection Division visitors and nine Receivership Division visitors. There are also five medical visitors who carry out approximately 92 visits a year.

  Protection Division visitors are paid £65 for a normal visit, £80 for a special visit and £10 for an abortive visit. In 1999-2000 the visits budget was £130,000, which allowed for 2,000 visits to Protection Division patients (on the basis of £65 for each normal visit).

  All Receivership Division patients are visited. The cost of visiting is charged to patients.
