The EmployAbility service is a national employment service dedicated to improving employment outcomes for people with disabilities who wish to take up employment. The budget for 2016 provides €9.6 million to run the service. The average cost of providing support through the service is €2,900 per customer, so if the service was expanded to support an additional 1,000 customers, the estimated additional annual cost would be €2.9 million.
Average cost per customer | Cost per 1,000 Customers |
---|---|
€2,900 | €2.9 million |
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
