Summary

Economic analysis suggested that the competency framework intervention was likely to be cost-effective, primarily because of a reduction in the costs of supporting participants compared with treatment as usual. The authors suggested that there may be a role for the framework in enhancing the cost-effectiveness of support for people with epilepsy and an intellectual disability (ID).
