Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaten van het Ministerie van Volksgezondheid, Welzijn en Sport (XVI) voor het jaar 2013

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the formal adoption of the budget estimates (begrotingsstaten) for the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (Volksgezondheid, Welzijn en Sport, chapter XVI) for the fiscal year 2013. Such budget approvals set out the planned spending and revenue for the ministry's policy areas for that year, and the House of Representatives must approve them before the funds can be spent. The approved budget determines how public money is allocated to health care, public health, sport, and welfare programmes administered by the ministry. Those directly affected include patients, healthcare providers, insurers, sports organisations, and the wider Dutch population relying on these public services.
