Sosiaali- ja terveysministeriön asetus lääkäri- ja hammaslääkärikoulutuksen korvauksiin ja yliopistotasoisen terveyden tutkimuksen rahoitukseen oikeutetuista palvelujen tuottajista
Purpose
The decree names eight specific private or specialized service providers entitled to compensation for specialist medical training costs and university-level health research funding.
Analysis
A closed list of named entities creates a market entry barrier: a new specialized provider cannot receive training compensation until the ministry amends the decree. Instead of criteria, the decree lists company names – this protects incumbents and slows entry of new actors into specialist training. Fix: replace the name list with open eligibility criteria (e.g. university-approved training site, quality/volume thresholds), so any qualifying provider is automatically entitled without a separate regulatory amendment.
