Annual fee of 494 € per year for each of the 245.000 inhabitants of the Health Dpt. Number 11
The private contractor receives a fixed annual sum per inhabitant for the fifteen-year duration of the contract.
The annual fee is €494 (rising in successive years in line with public health budget increase) for each of the 245,000 inhabitants of the health area.
In return, the company runs the entire health department and must offer universal access to its wide range of services.
TRANSFERRED RISK Expenses become fixed for Valencia Government. In effectively transferring financial risk from the public to the private sector, this measure helps control local spending thus making local government more transparent. The costs per inhabitant that the government pays the contractor are around 20% below average per person costs elsewhere in the Valencian Autonomous Community.
