The net costs of nutritional care for wider society (all actors together) are equal to the total costs of optimal nutritional care provided by schools less the parents’ food bill savings and work out at €5,059 per child. The quantified benefits based on the assumptions made amount to €5,699 per pupil. On balance, society as a whole will benefit by €640 per child if LZK schools provide optimal nutritional care compared with the situation where such care is absent. On top of this, there are several other benefits that were not quantified. Parents and chronically ill children benefit. Wider society benefits if the savings from less lifetime care for the child (A) and lower future other costs (D) exceed €2,234. What information is necessary for a full cost-benefit analysis? Table 1: Social effects of optimal nutritional care by LZK schools (in € per pupil). A lengthy study into the effects of optimal nutritional care for chronically ill children and their parents is necessary to validate the assumptions made. In addition, a control group consisting of chronically ill children and their parents who do not receive optimal nutritional would need to be monitored. Total Pagina 40
