Social and Healthcare Services in Finland : Expert evaluation, Autumn 2018

Abstract

In the spring and autumn of 2018, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health (STM) and the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) rehearsed the assessment and guidance activities related to the organisation of regional social and healthcare services (HE 15/2017, § 30 and 31). To complement this, THL has now for the first time, in accordance with the Draft Law of the Act on Organising Health and Social Services, compiled this national expert evaluation. The evaluation is designed to help national and regional level office-holders and decision-makers in their steering activities and decision making.
