The future of the Starnberg clinics: Large reform changes are imminent!

The Starnberg clinics are faced with dramatic restructuring, triggered by a new hospital reform that will affect the entire district. The Starnberg district administrator Stefan Frey warns that the clinics are under massive pressure due to financial deficits. As early as 2022, a deficit of twelve million euros had to be compensated for, with another devastating estimate announced for 2023. Frey explained that the district is the only partner of the clinics to grant high millions of millions every year, which is an enormous burden on the household budget. In the current budget, 29 million euros are planned for the Starnberg clinics, which is more than a tenth of the total volume, reports The Starnberger Merkur .

Financial imbalance and reformal need

The starting point for the Starnberg clinics is tense, not least because of a patient decline of around 20 percent compared to the pre-pandemy numbers. The cost explosion by inflation and tariff increases further exacerbates the situation. However, in order to ensure high -quality medical care, the clinics have to go through a comprehensive reform. Frey announced that it is the goal to cite and specialize the clinics to master future challenges, such as "https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/starnberg/starnberg-klinik-krankenhaus-klinikreform-defizit-penzberg-krankenhaus-krankenhaus-krankenhaus-krankenhaus-krankenhaus-krankenhaus-1.6560584"> Newspaper reported. It is certain that there will no longer be four clinics in the district; A closure of individual locations is practically inevitable.
