Financing of the region.

The Region gets its revenue from the state and the municipalities. Part of the region expenditure is financed through a block grant, whereas other subsidies are locally and activity-related. This means, by way of example, that a municipality, beside the basic contribution, pays each time a citizen needs hospital surgery.



The economy of the regions has been divided into three ”sections” – Health Care, Regional Development and Social Care. The state block grant constitutes the most significant element of financing – approx. 75%.

Health: Block grant of 75%. An activity-related contribution of 5 %. Municipalities pay a basic contribution of approximately 10 %, and an activity-related contribution of approximately 10 %

Regional Development: A block.grant of 70 %. Municipalities contribute with 30%

Social Care: The region receives payment from the municipalities for the operational tasks performed by the region.
