This excludes piloting and set-up costs incurred prior to July 2018.</p><p>This is broken down as follows;</p><ul><li>£4.2 million for the operation, continuous improvement and evaluation of NAAS in phase 1.</li><li>£7.42 million for the operation, continuous improvement and evaluation of NAAS in phase 2.</li><li>£6.85 million grant funding for an additional 34 local authorities to join phase 2.</li></ul><p> </p><p>The cost per social worker of assessment under the NAAS varies according to the stage of development of the programme, the throughput of social workers in each local authority and the cost and capacity of a particular assessment venue. Therefore, at this stage we are not able to attribute a cost per social worker. The programme is being developed in an agile manner and through the first phases we have appointed an independent evaluator to collate financial and benefits data, the evidence from which will inform the future rollout approach.</p><p> </p><p>For national rollout of NAAS, delivery and cost modelling is currently underway and the cost per social worker will depend on the delivery model(s) selected.
