Finances

As a result of the social welfare and health care reform, the Government will adopt strategic objectives for the organisation of social welfare and health care every four years. These goals guide the wellbeing services counties and the HUS Group in setting goals and planning. At HUS, the highest decision-making power is exercised by the HUS General Meeting, which confirms the strategy that guides the planning of HUS’s operations and finances.

Operational and financial planning tools include a financial plan for three years and an investment plan for four years. The first year of the financial plan is the budget. The budget and plan describe what we want to do and how we will finance it. During the operating year, we prepare several annual forecasts, which are used to specify the estimate of the realisation of the budget. Financial performance is monitored monthly by means of reporting.

Government funding for social welfare and health care as well as rescue services also affects the funding of the HUS Group, as the HUS Group receives its funding through the Uusimaa wellbeing services counties and the City of Helsinki as a share of their funding. Other sources of income include client fees, sales of medical services to other wellbeing services counties, diagnostic services and other support services for primary health care in member wellbeing services counties and wellbeing services counties in the Southern Finland collaborative area. We receive research and education funding from the state for university research and the education of doctors and dentists.

Our largest expenditure item is personnel costs, which account for more than half of our total annual expenditure. Other costs include medical supplies and medicines, properties, construction and ICT procurements.
