Table explanation


This table shows how health(care) expenditure according to the international definition and health and social care expenditure used by Statistics Netherlands are related. Financing has been chosen as the starting point.
Healthcare is delineated according to the international definition of the System of Health Accounts. All healthcare activities count, regardless of whether they take place inside or outside the healthcare sector. Only resident health expenditure counts.
Health and social care expenditure covers all care activities, including welfare and childcare, regardless of whether these activities take place as a main or secondary activity. Care can be for residents or non-residents. Care provided in the Netherlands for non-residents (such as tourists) is included in the export of services.

In brief:
Health and social care expenditure
-/- health-related expenditure, such as domestic care within care for the elderly
-/- expenditure on other care and welfare, such as childcare
-/- expenditure on education, research and development, other services
-/- export, foreign-paid activities
= Total current expenditure on health
