This indicator measures the expenditure on the health care function "long-term care (social)" (SHA HCR.1) by the health care financing scheme "household out-of-pocket payment" (SHA HF.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 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 health care financing scheme household out-of-pocket payment comprises a direct payment for services from the household primary income or savings (no third-party payer is involved): the payment is made by the user at the time of the use of services. Included are cost-sharing and informal payments (both in cash and kind).
