The report also describes how the different forms of long-term care are distributed across Dutch municipalities, as well as municipal characteristics linked to that distribution. Finally, the report looks at the relationship between different care types within municipalities.
This report can be seen as a baseline measurement and is of great value in enabling the reforms in long-term care to be evaluated over time.
