Financing of healthcare Government expenditure accounted for 79.4% of all current healthcare expenditure in 2016 All figures contained in this article are for current expenditure only, with the exception of the appendix, which contains figures for current and capital expenditure produced using the definitions from our previous Expenditure on Healthcare in the UK analysis.Īll figures in this article are reported in current prices that is the price of goods or services at the time they were purchased, unadjusted for inflation. However, the cost of the consumption of capital, a concept analogous to depreciation, is included in the Health Accounts figures. This means that spending on the formation and acquisition of capital items, such as buildings and vehicles, in any given year, are not included in the Health Accounts. Health Accounts measure current expenditure on healthcare only. More information about the definitions of health accounts and the differences between health accounts and other healthcare expenditure analyses is available in the Introduction to Health Accounts. The definition of healthcare used in Health Accounts is somewhat broader than that used in other UK healthcare expenditure analyses (including our earlier Expenditure on Healthcare in the UK publication), and includes a number of services which are typically considered social care in the UK.

The time series for UK Health Accounts runs back to 2013. Some OECD member states also produce healthcare expenditure statistics to SHA 2011 definitions for years before 2014, but the length of the back series produced to these definitions varies by country. The SHA 2011 definitions are used to measure healthcare expenditure from 2014 onwards by all EU member states and most other OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) member states. The UK Health Accounts are produced according to the System of Health Accounts 2011: SHA 2011, which provides internationally standardised definitions both for total current healthcare expenditure, and the analysis of this spending by financing scheme, function and provider organisation.
