NHS pooling of funds Ministry of Finance Annually sets NHS budget based on historical spending and on plans presented by the Ministry of Health. Beveridgean model, financed through general taxation. Ministry of Health Receives a global budget for the NHS which is then allocated to the many institutions within the NHS (Hospitals, Regional Health Administrations - RHA and Special Programmes) Controls all capital expenditure ACSS Responsible for Financial Management, Allocation criteria & Contracting Models. Prepares for approval estimates detailing the resources needed to support planned activities (NHS budget) Proposes budget allocation to each RHA for the provision of Primary Health Care (PHC) to the population, according to geographic defined areas. Defines Hospital & LHU funding models Reform started in 1996 intended to increase the purchasing role in order to gradually achieve a payer-provider split 9 www.acss.min-saude.pt NHS Funding For 2010 the NHS s budget represents 8.150 M of which approx. 50% relates to public hospitals & LHU funding, through contracts signed by RHA with public providers Financial flows NHS Budget 10% Total health expenditure in % of GDP Government Subsystems Private insurance Ministry of Health 1 ARS 2 Healthcare Centre groups Public Hospitals & LHU 9.000 8.000 7.000 6.000 5.000 Growth rate 2009-2010 Hospitals budget (EPE + SPA) / NHS Budget M ARS/PHCare 4 SPA Hospitals 51% 50% 8.100 8.150 611 681 438 296 3.595 3.728 3 EPE H & LHU 5 Others 4.023 M in hospitals 11,5% -32,5% 3,7% Population and business Citizens Private Hospitals & Services 4.000 3.000 2.000 1.000 3.456 3.445-0,3% Flows of financing, payment or reimbursement 1 Health System Central Administration 2 Regional Health Administration Within NHS scope 0 2009 2010 3 Public Business Entity; 4 Public Administration Sector; 5 Others includes autonomous services, psychiatric services, transfers to the social sector institutions, payments abroad for international conventions, protocols payments and PPP (public-private partnerships) 10 www.acss.min-saude.pt 5
