This indicator measures the expenditure on the health care function "long-term care (social)" (SHA HCR.1) by the health care financing schemes "government schemes" (SHA HF.1.1) 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 function long-term care (social) comprises the expenditure on lower-level social care services to assist with instrumental activities of daily living (such as home-help, meals on wheels, transport and day centres, etc.). As the health care components of long-term care are contained in HC.3, the complementary social components are included as a health care-related category that is further subdivided into in-kind and in-cash components. 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).
