using the GAF score.<br />
The results of the sensitivity analyses are detailed in Table 15. Varying the discount rate from 0%<br />
to 6% did not impact on the findings, nor did increasing the sample size by including psychiatric<br />
admission costs from records only. When the cost of the group interventions are calculated<br />
assuming that all art and activity group assistants are volunteers or students and that the cost of<br />
their contribution is zero, there is no impact on the results.<br />
