Healthcare institutions; key figures

This table provides information on the loss and profit account, balance sheet, investment and staffing of groups of companies whose main activity is hospital care, mental health care with overnight stays, disability care, nursing care, home care, social care and women’s care and youth care. This concerns both public and privately funded business groups. From 2015 onwards, full coverage of the considered SBI classes including privately funded care and small enterprises has changed. Of small enterprises, only a few variables related to employees and the self-employed are included. Furthermore, as of 2015, the day-to-day mental health care centres have been removed from the population, as they will be included in the table of health care statistics together with the practices of psychiatrists in the relevant SBI class. In 2017, there was a system change regarding the processing of (future) costs for major maintenance on the balance sheet. Previously, the equalisation or cost provision method was used, also known as provision of major maintenance. As of 2017, part of healthcare institutions have gradually switched to the component approach. Internationally, this is already the only permissible methodology. The 2018 figures show this on the liabilities side in different sectors, in particular hospitals. Provisions are decreasing and equity is increasing. With the component approach, further dispersion of maintenance costs takes place. In reporting year 2020, healthcare professionals received a net benefit of EUR 1 000, a bonus for ‘the exceptional performance they provide in the fight against coronavirus’. The benefit was provided by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport to healthcare providers, who then pay the healthcare bonus to its own employees and to the self-employed and temporary workers employed by the healthcare providers. Healthcare providers also received a premium on the bonus amount, because of the tax they have to make in order to be able to pay the healthcare provider a net bonus. The total amount, including storage, is included under the ‘Subsidies’. The payment of the healthcare bonus as well as the tax payment due to the care bonus are included in the personnel costs.
