Finland advised to cut wellbeing regions by half or more
Finland should reduce its 21 wellbeing services counties to between 6 and 11, according to a government-commissioned report published on Wednesday. The expert group says the current system is financially unsustainable and administratively inefficient.
The interim evaluation, led by Marina Erhola, former deputy permanent secretary at the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, proposes structural reforms to the delivery of healthcare, social services, and emergency care.
