The Family Nurse Partnership programme in Scotland: improving outcomes for child, parents, and society

Cost and Savings

The first Scottish FNP programme in Edinburgh was funded by the Scottish Government £1.6 million and is being delivered by NHS Lothian during a three-year period. The second pilot received financial support of £3.2 million over three years from the Scottish Government and a contribution of £600,000 from NHS Tayside. It is estimated to cost approximately £3,000 per annum per client who completed the programme.
