Reserves

Money in the general reserves (§ 35) is often allocated to the ministries later. These reserves belong to the area by name:

The general reserves (§ 35) also contain »Reserve til løft af psykiatriområdet«: 0 DKK in 2027 (2026: 668.4 m DKK). Source: Økonomistyrelsen, § 35.11.30

The general reserves (§ 35) also contain »Reserve til EU-forordninger på sundhedsområdet«: 79.4 m DKK in 2027 (2026: 0 DKK). Source: Økonomistyrelsen, § 35.11.83

A change for a ministerial area is not necessarily a cut or an increase. Money can sit in reserves and only be allocated later, and tasks can move between ministries.

The figures are in current prices – they are not adjusted for price increases.

⚠ Comparison uncertain: in this file, 2026 is 7.5 bn DKK in expenses (net). In the adopted Finance Act for 2026, the area was 271.6 bn DKK in expenses (net) – e.g. because tasks have been moved between ministries.
