Abstract

Although the Dutch elderly are not officially discriminated against by age criteria or policy regulations, they are intensively ‘touched’ by the scarcity of resources and by the policy attempts to manage this scarcity. Especially, the increasing waiting lists for home care and nursing home care, the introduction of systems requiring more private funding and personal financial responsibility and the (possible) rationing of acute care services on the basis of economic evidence are examples of the way the elderly are unequally treated by society particularly with respect to their access to care services.
