Minister Bruins will intervene actively in the selection of a candidate to buy Lelystad's bankrupt hospital. He announced it at the end of the weekly Council of Ministers.
Its most important condition is that the Lelystad Emergency Department and Obstetrics Department remain accessible to patients in the ward, "according to the House of Representatives' indications," said Bruins.
The interference is particular because hospitals are not government institutions, but independent corporations, which the government supervises. The Bruins were strongly criticized by the Lower House for not intervening when the hospitals MC Slotervaart and MC IJsselmeer went bankrupt. The Bruins decided that it was not the task of the Cabinet.
The trustee in bankruptcy will inform Bruins this afternoon at 5 pm of the names of the candidates for acquisitions who have been registered. Candidates will not be made public. The minister hopes that they are ready to engage in a dialogue with him on the terms of the takeover. He hopes to have his candidacy on Monday and be able to make a decision on Wednesday
SEH could be closed at night
Meanwhile, due to lack of staff, it is difficult for Lelystad to keep the emergency room open 24 hours a day. The medical staff can no longer find the situation safe for patients. SEH therefore closes every evening from Monday.
Bruins: "At the moment, discussions are under way with hospitals and ambulances in the area to ensure that help remains available," Bruins said. The places where there are hospitals in the area are Heerenveen, Almere, Sneek, Zwolle and Harderwijk.
But it is not yet certain whether the night maximum and other requirements are at stake. "It's a proposed decision because the Inspectorate still has to approve it. . " There are currently discussions on this subject.
From all sides
According to Bruins, the problem of staff arises because doctors and nurses of failed hospitals are approached by other hospitals. Bruins: "The staff is engaged on all sides."
The Bruins would go to Indonesia this weekend for a ministerial conference and a trade mission for health and science companies. Due to developments at Lelystad, he remains in the Netherlands. State Minister Sybilla Dekker takes office in Indonesia
Purse
On Wednesday, Mr. Bruins said that the government could agree to pay the Lelystad hospital portfolio. In addition to providing basic care, emergency care and acute obstetric care
The medical center of the IJsselmeer Hospital has offices in Lelystad, Emmeloord, Dronten and Urk. The organization was declared bankrupt on October 25th.
