Additional funding available to secure services

A wellbeing services county has the right to receive additional central government funding if the county’s level of funding would otherwise endanger the organisation of services linked to funda-mental rights. 

Additional funding can be granted based on an application by the county or on the initiative of the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Social Affairs and Health or Ministry of the Interior. 

A decision granting additional funding can include conditions concerning the effectiveness, quali-ty, quantity or efficiency of services. 

Additional funding will not increase the receiving county’s funding for the next year. Additional funding also will not directly affect funding on the national level for the next year or increase funding during the ex-post control. 

The Ministry of Finance may initiate an evaluation procedure if additional funding has been granted to a wellbeing services county.
