The health care, social welfare and rescue services will be organised according to the new model from 2023 onwards. The wellbeing services counties responsible for health care, social welfare and rescue services will begin operating in early 2023. However, Helsinki will remain responsible for organising its own health care, social welfare and rescue services, and will not be part of any wellbeing services county. Helsinki's new Social Services, Health Care and Rescue Services Division will start operating 1 January 2023.
