Budget proposal for the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and its branch of government for 2027

Imported from official source

Announcement

The Finnish Government proposes EUR 14.9 billion in appropriations for the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and its branch of government for 2027. This is about EUR 47 million more than in the 2026 Budget.

Of the appropriations for the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and its branch of government, 38 per cent will be allocated to pensions, 29 per cent to offsetting family and housing costs and to basic social assistance, 14 per cent to unemployment security, 12 per cent to health insurance, 2.9 per cent to supporting healthcare and social welfare and 1.3 per cent to grants for the promotion of health and social wellbeing. Of the appropriations under the main title of expenditure, 0.5–1.0 per cent will be allocated to each of the other classes of the main title.

Key changes affecting the level of appropriations

The level of appropriations for the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and its branch of government is affected by changes in needs assessments, and especially by decisions made in the Programme of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo’s Government and by the additional measures decided in spring 2026. The main changes derive from the following proposals:

  • The cutback in the grants awarded by the Funding Centre for Social Welfare and Health Organisations STEA will reduce the need for appropriations by EUR 50 million.
  • The comprehensive reform of social assistance, which entered into force in 2026, will reduce the need for appropriations by EUR 30 million.
  • The termination of rehabilitative work experience will reduce the need for appropriations by EUR 24 million.
  • A sum of EUR 67 million is proposed for maintaining the healthcare preparedness and readiness of the Finnish Defence Forces, of which EUR 37.9 million consists of procurement. 
  • A sum of EUR 40 million will be allocated for developing the service structure of healthcare and social welfare.
  • A total of EUR 25 million will be allocated to NGO grants for wellbeing services counties.
