1. United Nations Statistics Division CPC Division 93 Human health and social care services

2. Content and reasons for change This CPC division covers services provided in the context of human health and social services The overall scope of this division has not changed from previous versions However, additional detail has been introduced Mostly based on increased interest for policy reasons and associated statistics

5. Content and structure Why group health and social services together? Character of services and boundary between the two categories shift Reflected also in revised structure of ISIC Due to changes in population, provision of health services finds greater role in previously labeled social services

6. Content and structure Policy needs also increase demand for related data Services provided to elderly persons Services provided to children and youth Services provided to disabled persons These demand account for most of the new introduced detail Separation of medical vs. other based on required qualification may differ among countries

7. Product concept issues In many cases, products are essentially defined through the providing unit Which in turn reflects most of the desired breakdown Products/services are often provided in bundles in this area E.g. residential care with medical services

8. Product concept issues Even for the pure health services, bundles are common Applies in particular to hospital (inpatient) services Demand for more detail exists, but is in many cases not obtainable Billing practices do not reflect detailed provision of services In many cases, the most important aspect is the combination of services Previously attempted: detailed breakdown of packages

9. Content, structure and detail Based on national circumstances (policy need, availability of data) additional breakdowns may be possible Future review of national applications may result in refinements of CPC
