The website www.staatvenz.nl aims to provide up-to-date and unambiguous data, which exist to support policy monitoring and accounting. The website is built specifically for the Minister of Health, the policy makers of the Ministry and the Members of the House of Representatives. The website is hosted by the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment.


Product of collaboration

This website is a product of collaboration. A consortium was established to realize a website that would present unambiguous figures. They work together to reach agreement on definitions and sources for the key figures. The consortium consists of RIVM Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu (Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu), who is the coordinator, and 7 other knowledge institutes. These cover the full domain of public health, from determinants to care.
