Abstract
To enhance planning, control and financing competence the Austrian government is promoting the creation of health purchasing agencies. The main task of these agencies is to purchase services on the "health market" according to predefined quality standards and prices. If implemented, the creation of Health Purchasing Agencies would constitute the most important health sector reform since the Social Security Act was enacted in 1955.
