People who need personal care or nursing due to an illness, disorder or disability can make use of district nursing under the Healthcare Insurance Act (Zvw). It is possible to purchase this care in kind and/or via a personal budget (pgb). This table provides information about the use during a year (reporting year), the use on a certain reference date and the scope of care and average expenditure per care user of district nursing. The figures are broken down by gender, age on 31 December of the year under review, care type district nursing, type of care delivery and region. Data available from: 2015 Status of the figures: The figures for the last year are provisional, the figures for previous years are final. Changes as of 25 January 2022: Provisional figures for 2020 have been added. The volume figures for 2019 have been adjusted and then made final. In the case of declarations for services that fall under 'comprehensive district nursing services', the volume was previously estimated on the basis of the invoiced amount and the average rate of a similar service, if any, and otherwise on the basis of the average rate of total district nursing. From 2019, the volume of services that fall under 'comprehensive district nursing services' is estimated on the basis of the average rate for total district nursing and the amount claimed. This change of method results in a difference in total volume for 2019 of less than 1% with the provisional figures. When will new numbers come out? The provisional figures will be published no later than 18 months after the end of the year under review. When new annual figures are published, the figures for the previous year become final.
