The total cost of Common Standards Monitoring to date is
estimated at just under £14 million. This includes staff
costs and the start-up costs of training, guidance and standards
development but has not been scaled up to cover the assessments
that have yet to be made to complete 100% coverage. This
contrasts with a site management cost of nearly £200 million over
the same period. Monitoring costs, therefore, are currently
running at about 7% of management costs.
