The figures are derived from the Care Accounts, which includes more activities, such as youth care, welfare work, social services and childcare. The table also shows how from the total figure on health expenditure according to the Healthcare Accounts to the international total figure: Total health expenditure according to the Health Care Accounts —/- health related expenditure, such as household care within the care of the elderly —/- expenditure on non-health care according to the international definition, such as childcare, including export (care function M1(HC)+: Other care and well-being + export) = Total expenditure on health care (total current expenditure on health) Data available from 2005 to 2016 Status of the figures: The figures for 2016 and 2015 are further provisional.
