Technical studies in progress Transition to IPSAS accounting standards Merit appraisal and recognition - MARS & LHC - Results of the last exercise And tomorrow, what will be the advancement budget? General Information 5YR-2005/06 : working time, administrative circulars , long-term SLS, indexation of salaries Appeals: salaries, pensions, contracts Departmental meetings Summary

  4. Long-Term Care – Sept. 07 COUNCIL decision DEC.07 CHIS - Reminder daily allowance: • increased (85 → 100 CHF) • adjusted by DG (= 50% of the costs in a Swiss EMS)

  5. « We’ve f(o)und our money! » – Echo 17 Dec. 07 Creation of a fund of 93 MCHF composed of Reserve for the long-term care scheme Reserve for the general HIS, of which: Variations from year to year 6 MCHF (≈ 10% of annual expenditure) Catastrophic risk 20 MCHF (≈ 33% of annual expenditure) Expenditure committed, but not yet reimbursed 12 MCHF (≈ 20% of annual expenditure) Invested in two investment funds (20% equities, 80% bonds) CHIS accounts separated from those of the Organization CHIS - Reminder

  6. Actuarial review 2007: financial imbalance from 2010 Latest news 1st semester 2008 negative balance (expenditure: +10%) imbalance foreseen from 2008 CHIS – Financial situation 2010

  7. CHIS – Financial situation • Imbalance : what to do for the time being? • Strong annual fluctuations are nothing new • Reserve funds are foreseen to deal with the situation (+10% ≈ 6 MCHF) • CHIS will be a topic of the next 5YR - 2010

  8. CHIS– Ensure the future of our scheme • 1st step achieved : creation of a capitalized fund – 93 MCHF • 5YR–2010 Obtain the implementation of two recommendations by the actuary • Smooth the increase in costs due to ageing by an annual increase of 1% of the contribution rate (Organization + contributing members): 10%  10,1%  10,2% … • If medical inflation increases more rapidly than salaries and pensions, the differential should be added to the increase in contribution rate • CHIS Board : subgroup “Future of the Scheme” Your opinion interests us : SA survey - Oct. 08 • Reminder : CHIS = Mutual benefit and support scheme For each franc spent, half is paid by the contributing member Making savings for the scheme means making savings for ourselves !
