Fight for more money: Lower Saxony's minister demands 600 million for clinics!
In Lower Saxony, the clinics face a financial challenge, which is exacerbated by the accelerated inflation in the past two years. Health Minister Andreas Philippi has confirmed his demand for additional funds from the federal budget before today's coordination in the Bundestag. It puts the financial needs of around 600 million euros for the state of Lower Saxony. "We hope that the traffic light coalition is moving to provide at least part of it," said the SPD politician of the German Press Agency.
Philippi suggests that the federal government will distribute a total of six billion euros to the federal states by 2027. These financial injections would be intended to support hospitals that are threatened due to the reform and financial pressure. Specifically, he suggests that three billion euros should be available next year, followed by two billion in 2026 and one billion in 2027.
positive views on the reform
Especially in rural areas there are many concerns that the reform of local hospitals run the risk of being closed. However, Philippi calms the citizens: "The reform will promote stable clinics with sufficient doctors and nursing staff." This would lead to better health care in the regions in the long term.
It is worth noting that in some specific regions such as East Frisia and the Diepholz district, the reform could possibly lead to the establishment of new central clinics. Philippi believes that a well -positioned central clinic that can offer all reliable treatments is to be preferable to several small hospitals who often fight with a lack of personnel and emergency care problems.The demand for more financial means is therefore not only a reaction to current challenges, but also a strategic initiative in order to ensure and improve the future of hospital care in Lower Saxony.
