The care expenditure rose last year by 0.8 percent to 95 billion euros, the Central Bureau reports for Statistics (CBS) on Thursday. This equates to 5,628 euros per Dutch resident. That amount is 0.4 percent higher than in 2014.
The health care expenditures in 2013, 2014 and 2015 rose on average 0.9 percent per year, while the Dutch economy by an average 1.7 percent in that period grew (not adjusted for inflation).
Again, the healthcare expenditure declined as a share of gross domestic product (GDP). Last year, this amounted to 14 percent of GDP.
Hospital
More than a quarter of health spending goes to hospitals and specialist practices. This expenditure was last year by 1.5 percent to 26.2 billion euros.
On drugs than 3 percent spent more than in 2014. There was community pharmacies, drugstores and supermarkets 5.4 billion euro spent on drugs.
asylum Centres
spending on refugee camps and other boarding schools by 50 percent to nearly 900 million. This is due to the increased influx of asylum seekers.
On the elderly last year just spent less than in 2014. This was a decrease of 2 percent to 17.3 billion euros. Also local social work, youth welfare and management costs less spent.
Tasks
The CBS emphasized that many details are not yet finalized, because there are major changes last year reflected in the financing of health care. There are family responsibilities transferred to municipalities.
For example, the district nursing care will no longer be paid from the EMEA, but from the Health Insurance (Health Insurance Act).
It seems that in 2015 through the Health Insurance 3 billion more to finance health care than in 2014. through the Act, long-term care (WLZ) was financed less accurate than 8 billion euros in 2014 through the then EMEA. The government and municipalities last year 5.5 billion contributed more to care than a year earlier
