District Day Elbe-Elster: Unity against hospital reform-urgent appeal!

A dramatic outcry from the Elbe-Elster district! In a joint resolution, the district administrator Christian Jaschinski (CDU) and all factions of the district council ask the Brandenburg state government to clear the controversial draft of the hospital reform. This explosive message was published by the district administration on Thursday and causes excitement!

The parliamentary groups agree: The current draft of the Hospital Supply improvement law (KHVVVG) is not only inadequate, but also endangers the future of hospital care in the region. "Only through a constructive renegotiation and the consideration of the legitimate interests of the federal states can the hospital care be secured in the long term," says the urgent letter to the state government. Those responsible warn that the financing of the hospitals is no longer viable due to the rising costs and the federal government refuses to pay inflation compensation for the years 2022 to 2024.

alarming financial situation

The situation is serious! The factions and district administrator Jaschinski make it clear that the tense budget situation of the counties is an enormous burden. The deficits in their own hospitals, for which the health insurance companies are actually responsible, are heavily loaded on the circles of the circles. "If this gap is not closed, many hospitals will continue to show significant deficits and be threatened by bankruptcy," warns the resolution.

The signatories see the municipal self -government of the counties in danger. This year alone, the counties in Germany have to raise around three billion euros for the support of local clinics. The coordination of the hospital reform in the Federal Council is on November 22nd and time is pushing!
