  11. Challenges in using SF for health • Different metrics in each EU MS • Is the new health infrastructure funded by SF increasing the health status of population? • Developing indicators and gathering the needed statistical data. • Developing cost-benefit analysis for investment projects • The process of prioritizing needs and referring them to aims of the Operational programmes • Preparing the project according the EU standards • Bureaucracy - Complicated and often changed formulas - too many attachments, permissions, opinions, consent.. • Too strong tendency to standardize all kinds of projects e.g. indicators that fit to industrial and business projects not fit to health or education ones. .

  14. non-health sector investment with potential health gain Integrated planning, one-stop shops (rural), health tourism, green spaces, procurement

  15. In performance measurement terms there are 3 key challenges that flow from the principle of cost effective investments that maximise health gains at regional and sub-regional level: First - identifying outcome measures that are systemic products and reflect added value for SF and national/regional investments Second - simplifying accountability mechanisms Third - use existing data available across sectors that can be interpreted to inform key indicators (where possible). Added value/health gains: Increasing local employment Increasing the skills base in local labour markets Increasing wealth in the region Promoting business growth (SMEs) competitive in wider markets Healthier lifestyles Enhancing community well being and social cohesion Protecting the environment by decreasing transport miles. MAs assessing added value

  16. questions… • Does your region spend Structural Funds for health? • How do you spend the money? • What are the challenges you are facing? • What help/support do you need?
