[The present share of health services financing provided by state enterprises]

At the moment none of the managing departments is concerned with investigations of financing of factory health facilities by enterprises and organizations. A pilot study revealed that hitherto valid methods of investigation of these costs, as regards investments, were not very successful and thus it is very difficult to follow up these data. As regards operational costs, considerable differences were revealed between different departments in their contribution to the costs of factory health facilities. It was revealed that during the 7th Five-year Plan all financial means spent by enterprises on health services were cca 3.2% of the expenditure for health services (i. e. the total expenditure of the state health administration and enterprises). From the fund of cultural and social needs 0.1% to 1% are spent on the health services. The paper discusses also possibilities of the further development of factory health services.
