Such inequalities result, at least in part, from the fragmentation of the Finnish health care system, where small municipalities are facing difficulties to provide adequate health care services. Although public satisfaction is an important objective of health policy, it is subjective and is only weakly correlated with objective indicators of health status (OECD, 2010b). A survey carried out in 2009 for the European Commission showed that 94% of respondents described the overall quality of healthcare in Finland as good, a proportion surpassed only in Austria and Belgium. The probability of a GP or specialist visit is inequitable if the index is significantly different from zero.
