Stockerau in the health chaos: hospital closings threaten the supply!

The focus of the political discussion in Stockerau is the topic that proves to be the decisive topic and the health sector and the future of hospital care in the region. An expert proposal provides to close the existing hospitals in Hollabrunn, Korneuburg and Stockerau and instead build a new, large Wineviertel Hospital South-West hospital. While there is still no official decision on these plans, experts are working on future scenarios for medical care that will be presented in the coming spring, as noe.orf.at reported.

The city of Stockerau has in response to these considerations adopted a resolution in which the city government is asked to include the Stockerau location in the planning for a new hospital. There is a broad consensus among the political parties on site that acute care must continue to be secured in Stockerau. The ÖVP, SPÖ, FPÖ and the Greens all reaffirm the importance of the hospital for local health care. However, the Greens emphasize that when it comes to the question of the new building, the costs and location issues at the municipal level are still unclear, reports nön.at .

older citizens are concerned about the effects of possible hospital closings on the accessibility in an emergency, while the standardization of the hospital locations could cause potential waiting times and inconvenience. The discussion about future health care will shape the coming weeks until the municipal council election on January 26, which underlines the importance of this topic for the electorate.
