The document discusses the proposed assessment of counties' ability to organize health and social services in Finland. Under new legislation, the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) would be tasked with annually assessing each county's performance based on dimensions like quality, access, costs and equality across various service areas. The assessment would analyze counties' self-reports and reports from the supervisory authority, as well as 50 statistical indicators. THL would then provide an expert assessment of each county to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. The assessment aims to evaluate whether services meet population needs equally and are efficiently and cost-effectively delivered across Finland's 18 counties.
