HELSINKI (Reuters) - Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila said on Thursday that he would dissolve his centre-right coalition government if it fails to push through its healthcare and local government reform in the coming months.

The reforms, expected to reduce annual costs by 3 billion euros (2.66 billion pounds), are a cornerstone of the three-party coalition's plan to balance public finances in the face of fast-ageing population.
