New Fee for Large Health Service Members (exception to normal fee system)
On the basis of cases such as NHS Trusts in the UK etc., the Governance Board of the International HPH Network has decided that large health service members should instead pay a fee based on number of employees, compared to that of an average HPH hospital member. It is believed that this makes for a more fair system than previously, while still maintaining the fast and easy administration that has always been a priority.
The current HPH fees for large health services (pr year) are:
| 0 to 1000 Employees | = | 250 Eur pr year |
| 1000 to 2000 Employees | = | 500 Eur pr year |
| 2000 to 3000 Employees | = | 750 Eur pr year |
| 3000 to 4000 Employees | = | 1000 Eur pr year |
| 4000 to 5000 Employees | = | 1250 Eur pr year |
| 5000 to 6000 Employees | = | 1500 Eur pr year |
| 6000 to 7000 Employees | = | 1750 Eur pr year |
| 7000 to 8000 Employees | = | 2000 Eur pr year |
| 8000 to 9000 Employees | = | 2250 Eur pr year |
| 9000 to 10000 Employees | = | 2500 Eur pr year |
(and so forth)

Fee Index regulations
As decided by the HPH General Assembly and Governance Board[1], HPH membership fee levels should be index regulated to accommodate for general inflation etc.
However, due to the onset of the global financial crisis, the long-standing fee level of 250 Euros was maintained for the period of 2009 to 2015.
In order to ensure that the official commitments of existing HPH members, made in current signed Letters of Intent, remain unaltered, a 2015 regulated fee will be communicated broadly in 2011 and 2012. The fee raise will then be implemented gradually, as members gradually renew their Letters of Intent. This way, the index regulated fee should have been implemented with all members by the end of 2015.
