determine the number of cases which can be handled by each worker. From this the number of staff are determined.

The implications of this will be a matching of resources required such as physical location (which might be shop-front in a shopping complex or a multi-purpose centre or health centre) in which a number of community workers may be housed. This again will be determined by the particular circumstances in the region or area.

Costs will be both recurrent and capital even though the equipment requirements are low. Transport is often the most expensive issue other than wages and supplies. Perhaps the most important issue is the benefit to be gained from increasing expenditure in the community health and promotional services and reducing the demand for acute services.
