• 12.4% of GNI
• 71% funded by government

www.cso.ie 2
3. What is the System of Health Accounts?
• Format for reporting health care expenditure
agreed between OECD, WHO, Eurostat
– Extension of core National Accounts
• Answers 3 main questions
– Where does the money to finance the health
system come from?
– Who does the money go to?
– What kind of (functionally defined) services are
performed and what type of goods are purchased
www.cso.ie 3
4. What’s new?
• First detailed profile of Irish current health
expenditure in accordance with System of
Health Accounts, 2011 (SHA)
• Previously only high level estimates
– Total
– Public / private
– Current / capital
• Now detailed breakdown of current spending
by 3 classifications
www.cso.ie 4
5. What is the System of Health Accounts?
• Based on the International Classification
for Health Accounts (ICHA) with
classifications for
–health care financing schemes (ICHA-HF);
–health care by service provider industries
(ICHA-HP);
–health care by function (ICHA-HC);
www.cso.ie 5
6. Boundary of health care
• Functional classification (ICHA-HC) is key to
defining the boundary of health care
• Excludes social care – difficult in practice
• Review of Irish data has led to inclusion of
wider range of services as health care than
previously reported
• Main changes – more long-term care for
older people and people with a disability
now included
