title: [Problems in expressing performance in relation to costs in the health services].
abstract: Although in our country considerable financial means are spent on the health services, they do not suffice for the health services to meet their tasks under adequate conditions and to contribute to the favourable health status of the population. Under conditions of the reconstruction of the economic mechanism the authorities accept the necessity to increase the financial means for the health services, they ask, however, for concrete justification of these demands. This involves considerable efforts in conjunction with attempts to express performed work in the health services in relation to their costs. This means that the contents of different tasks have to be defined, to create a uniform classification, define the sources of information, the method of calculation and perform other essential tasks associated with the financial assessment of health activities. Certain provisions in this respect were already made. It is essential to proceed with this work or take over the results of work performed in other countries. Optimation of expenditure on the health services which ought to be the result of this work will be a valuable contribution in relation to social resources justifying the financial demands of the health services, as well as in relation to different health facilities and their staff who will get a better grasp of the medical and economic relations.
