The Dutch healthcare system is considered by many to be one of the finest in the world because of its pioneering provision and decent level of funding. ‘Zorg in de gemeenschap’ or ‘care in the community’ is a both a distinguishing and defining feature of the Dutch cure and care system. The Dutch spend around 3.7% of their GDP on long-term care, the highest in the OECD, and offer many examples of innovation in caring for older people in the community and at home. Nearly 13% of the population aged over 65 receive care at home, compared with just 4.9% across the OECD. In this chapter, Mark Britnell looks at the Dutch healthcare system; its structure, funding, future, and much else. He points out that a strength of the Dutch healthcare system is the emphasis placed on well-resourced primary care, and looks at how it affects general care.
