Abstract: The paper examines the recent extension of price and production statistics to health, social assistance services and education. In the first part of the paper it is emphasised that using net prices instead of gross prices, as for the European harmonised consumer price index, is inaccurate. The index is thus partly hybrid and inconsistent. The second part of the paper explains why, even if quality is a significant issue, production measures should not rely on the user's changes of condition. It should rather be based on supplied quality. The paper then describes and discusses two complementary ways to estimate quality changes.
