Suspected neurological conditions: recognition and referral

Resource impact statement

No significant resource impact is anticipated

We do not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on resources; that is:

• the resource impact of implementing any single guideline recommendation will be less than £1 million per year in England (or £1,800 per 100,000 population) and
• the resource impact of implementing the whole guideline in England will be less than £5 million per year (or £9,100 per 100,000 population).

Where clinical practice changes as a result of this guideline, there will not be a significant change in resource use. This is because any cost is likely to be offset by savings and benefits. Expert clinical opinion is that the recommendations will help prevent unnecessary referrals and reduce delays for people who need specialist neurological assessment.
