HUS year 2024: Finances
We had to achieve savings of around EUR 130 million in the 2024 budget. In addition, we introduced significant additional savings measures in June, which together started to reduce costs in the second half of the year.
Our funding is based on a budget framework funded by HUS members, the Uusimaa wellbeing services counties, and the City of Helsinki.
Our financial performance for 2024 showed a deficit of EUR 30.4 million. Previously, we had predicted that the deficit would have been higher (around EUR 63.8 million), but additional savings measures helped to reduce the deficit.
The combined deficit for 2022–2024 is EUR 141.7 million. Accumulated deficits must be recouped by the end of 2025. The members of HUS, the Uusimaa wellbeing services counties and the City of Helsinki have committed to covering the deficit if HUS basic operations do not generate any additional deficit in 2025.
Operating revenue and operating costs
Our operating revenue for 2024 came to EUR 3,056.8 million. Operating revenue fell short of the budget by 0.6%, or EUR 18.1 million. Our operating costs totaled EUR 2,950 million.
Productivity, service production and funding
Cost per patient decreased by 3.7% on the previous year. As at the end of the year, our loan portfolio stood at EUR 1,126.4 million.
Investments
The construction of Oak Hospital was completed in late 2024. HUS investments totaled EUR 227.6 million.
