Persons with allocated personal budget (pgb); end-of-quarter

This table shows the number of persons who received a personal budget (Pgb) at the end of quarter by the health care office for self-purchase or hiring of long-term care. Until 2015, the number of persons granted a PGI will be followed by the General Law on Special Medical Expenses (AWBZ). As of 2015, long-term care will be financed through several laws: the Long-term Care Act (Wlz), the Social Support Act 2015, the Health Care Insurance Act and the Youth Act. From 2015 onwards, this table follows only the number of persons granted a PGI as dependants of the Wlz. The PGI is a subsidy scheme, the ceiling of which is set annually by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The number of persons who received a PGI at the end of the year is equal to the number of budget holders (Pgb) at the end of the fourth quarter of the year in question. Data available from: 2009 Status of the figures: The quarterly figures for the most recent reporting year are provisional. The remaining quarterly figures are final. When the first quarter of a new reporting year is published, the figures for all previous quarters become definitive. Changes as of 30 March 2021: The provisional figure for Q4 2021 has been added. When will there be new figures? The figure for the 1st quarter of 2022 shall be published in Q2 2022.
