One concern that is consistently mentioned when countries consider having an IRI are the costs. The financial cost (€) of an IRI is relatively low. The most significant cost is time resource, for example the staff resource to plan and execute the IRI as a host.
Additional services such as translation and training will increase the costs of an IRI. This represents excellent value for money as all the time given by participants is given for free. Costs of reviews therefore should not be a negative factor when deciding to have a review.
