The national planning system is based on a Parliamentary decision of 1995 where the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs (later Ministry of Health and Care Services) was given the task to develop an action plan for training of health personnel. The plan focused on:
- A better utilisation of health personnel;
- A better geographical distribution;
- Better interdisciplinary co-operation and awareness of new health technologies and economic opportunities;
- And the increased care burden in society due to demographic changes.
The mission of the present planning system in the Directorate of Health is:
- To evaluate the present and future needs of health and social personnel;
- To follow up initiatives to strengthen the capacity and qualification building as needed.
