22 Health Property in Europe NHS countries: UK en Scandinavia government has much stronger control over asset decisions, PFI/PPP because of budget constraints, political spotlight. Bismarck countries: insurance model, government at arms-length, mixed financing models Private providers within and outside the public system: Rhön Klinikum, UK, France
