Current law, sources and limits of the cost schedule
Current law. Use of the private sector, for-profit or not, for care homes (EHPAD), crèches, laboratories, etc., under the authorisation and pricing regimes specific to each sector.
Horizon. Not applicable.
Limits. The cost of a “remunicipalisation” or of bringing services back in-house depends on the sector, on the buyback of assets and on public/private cost differences, which are not documented in general. To be dealt with case by case (care homes (EHPAD), crèches) in the relevant areas.
How to read these amounts. These are static costs and revenues, with no feedback effect, over a full year: nothing on growth, employment or the revenue that economic activity would gain or lose. A higher net cost does not on its own make a worse policy, nor net savings a better one: each programme rests on an economic model (demand-led stimulus, lower compulsory levies, consolidation of the public accounts…) that the cost schedule does not settle. GDP itself measures a volume of activity, not well-being or the usefulness of what is produced. Economic models and feedback effects.
