       Cost Calculation evidence for 24 hours Asthma service for young
       people’s?
       For this specified level of activity the cost to the primary
       care organisation payable via contract would have been about
       £73,000. With the implementation of the service, A&E attendances
       were reduced to 17% (34 patients out of 200 enrolled on the
       service) and hospital admissions were reduced to 8% (16 patients
       out of 200 enrolled on the service), which resulted in a
       decreased cost of acute contract (£12,447) for that period.
       A&E admissions and hospital attendance figures were recorded via
       the community computer system (System One). The service also
       kept a manual database in Microsoft Excel to record the
       activity. Both data records were reconciled at the end of each
       12-month period.
