This indicator measures the health care financing scheme "domestic general government expenditure" (cf. SHA HF.1.1) on the health care function "long-term care (health)" (SHA HC.3) in million national currency units following the System of Health Accounts (SHA; OECD et al. 2011). Expenditure refers to the payments related to the final consumption of all health care goods and services by the resident units. The characteristics of government health care financing schemes are determined by law or by the government. A separate budget is set for the program, and a government unit has an overall responsibility for it. Usually, but not necessarily, government schemes are operated by the government unit(s). Long-term care (health) consists of a range of medical and personal care services that are consumed with the primary goal of alleviating pain and suffering and reducing or managing the deterioration in health status in patients with a degree of long-term dependency.
