Specialist health service - regional level

South-East is by far the largest health region. In this region the operating costs including depreciation amounted to NOK 51 billion in 2010. The Western region was the second largest with NOK 18 billion. Furthermore, Mid-Norway cost NOK 13 billion and North was NOK 11 billion.

South-East accounted for 51 600 contracted man-years adjusted for long term leave. In West this number was 17 900, in Mid-Norway 12 700 and in North 10 800. North had the highest number of man-years per 1 000 capita; 23 man-years. The number of contracted man-years adjusted for long-term leave does not include hired labour.

The South-East region accounts for 46 per cent of all beds and 56 per cent of out-patient treatments. The increase in the number of out-patient treatments was highest in West, but changes in registration routines caused a break in the time series. The number of beds decreased in all the regions.

Fewer beds, more day treatments at general hospitals and institutions

The total operating costs related to general hospitals and institutions in 2010 were close to NOK 58 billion. By the end of 2010 there were around 14 500 beds totally, where 12 100 beds at general hospitals. That is a decrease compared to 2009 and in accordance with the development during the last years. There were approximately 857 000 in-patient discharges, more than 4 700 000 out-patient consultations and close to 428 000 day-cases in general hospitals in 2010. The average length of an in-patient stay was 4.5 days compared to 4.6 days in 2009. Due to a change in the hospital financing system these figures are not comparable with figures for out-patient consultations and day-cases that were published in previous years.

In 2010, the total number of contracted man-years adjusted for long-term leave in general hospitals and other somatic institutions was close to 65 700.
