More physiotherapists

There has been a growth in man-years and coverage rates for physiotherapists, midwives and public health nurses from 1999 to 2000. Measured as man-years, the number of physiotherapists has the increased most.

In 2000, physiotherapists worked 3 620 man-years in the municipal health service, excluding care of the elderly. This was an increase of 200 man-years compared with the previous year. Including the resources involved in caring for the elderly, the figures show that the man-years of physiotherapists increased by 130 from 1999 to 2000.

Less physiotherapists in institutions for the elderly

In 2000, 349 of all physiotherapy man-years in the municipal health service were assigned to institutions for the elderly and disabled. The number of man-years was reduced from 1999 to 2000.

Stable number of physicians

In 2000, a total of 3 532 man-years worked as doctors in the municipal health service, excluding care of the elderly. This is all most the same number as in 1999.

In 2000 physicians worked 229 man-years in institutions for the elderly and disabled. This accounts for around six per cent of the total labour input of doctors in the municipal health services. The proportion has remained stable in recent years.

More midwives and public health nurses

From 1999 to 2000 the number of man-years of midwives in the municipal health service increased from 269 to 280. Similarly, the number of man-years worked by public health nurses increased from 1 650 to 1 714. Measured as the number of man-years per inhabitant, the least central municipalities have the best access to services from these occupational groups. This is particularly true for midwives, in which the least central municipalities have around four times as many man-years per 10 000 new-borns as the most central municipalities.
