Abstract: The german data on health care and social policy are very heterogeneous. Moreover they arecompiled and made accessible by a large number of different institutions. The objective of thereport is, as a service for students and researchers less familiar with data sources, to providea comprehensive overview over available data in these subject areas. For this purpose ageneral introductory section deals with requirements of data, deficits of the existing datasources as well as recommendations for improving the situation. In a second special sectioninformation on individual statistics are presented in the form of systematic synopses. Statisticsinclude information on the insured persons in social insurances, beneficiaries, providers ofservices, expenditures and revenues for benefits. The latter includes the statistics on economicaggregates as well as the distribution over socio-economic groups. Due to the extensivenumber of sources the presentation is confined to data compiled by public institutions(public households, ministries, social security institutions and the federal bureau of statistics)as well as two examples of a successful integration of survey data with administrative data.
