The room does not give leave to bankrupt hospitals

The House of Representatives does not interrupt the autumn holidays to consider the bankruptcy of the IJsselmeer hospitals and the Slotervaart Hospital. A proposal to this effect from PVA MP Fleur Agema was only supported by GroenLinks and PvdA.

Agema asked the chamber's health experts to meet Friday afternoon for a debate with the minister responsible, Bruno Bruins, but to no avail. The PVV parliamentarian fears that hospital care is at stake. She points out that fourteen other hospitals are not in very good financial shape.

Minister must take the initiative

The PS also wants Bruins to take action. The Minister of Public Health "must take the initiative to restart hospitals," said MP Henk van Gerven. He finds that the bankruptcy of the hospitals of Flevoland and Amsterdam was pronounced Thursday "as well as the bankruptcy of the forces of the market in the sector of the health." Because the Minister Bruins did not intervene, patients and members of the Staff are currently being put to death. "

GSP leader Kees van der Staaij and GroenLinks MP Corinne Ellemeet are also involved. Van der Staaij fears that patients will be deprived of the necessary care.

Ellemeet speaks of a "tragedy for caregivers and patients of these hospitals". She goes to the health insurers: "It must be different".
