Abstract: This paper examines the effect of the decentralisation of the Spanish national health system on the demand for publicly funded health care. We find thatdecentralisation increased the demand for public health care, improved the perceptions of the well-functioning of the system and reduced the uptake of private health insurance amongrelatively high income individuals.
