Table explanation


This table presents health(care) expenditure used by residents of the Netherlands in a year. Health care is delineated according to the international definition of the System of Health Accounts. The figures are thus internationally comparable with Eurostat, OECD and WHO publications. All healthcare activities count, regardless of whether they take place inside or outside the healthcare sector.
The figures are derived from the care accounts, which include more activities such as youth care, welfare work, social services and child care. The care accounts also include exports (expenditure on and by non-residents).

Data available from 1998 to 2022

Status of the figures:
The figures for 2021 and 2022 are revised provisional. The figures for the other years are final. Since this table has been discontinued, provisional data will not become final.

Changes as of 10 December 2024:
This table has been discontinued. The name of the topic ‘Expenditure on health and social care’ has been changed to ‘Health care expenditure’, as this table only covers expenditure on health care, not social care.

When will new figures be published?
Not applicable anymore. The table has been discontinued and superseded by table 'Health expenditure; functions and financing' (see paragraph 3). The new table contains revised data. New sources and statistical techniques have been incorporated in the revised figures.
