Chapter 8 | The impact of the crisis on the health system and health in the Netherlands

6. Conclusions
In retrospect, it can be concluded that the 2006 reform has been the most
influential development in the Dutch health care sector since the early 2000s.
Relative to this, the economic crisis has had limited effects on accessibility, quality
and affordability of care. However, although the Dutch population accepts that
having world-class health care comes at a high cost, the question of affordability
of care remains the main topic of concern. This is reflected in the plans for a
major reform of long-term care that is currently under consideration.
