The St Jansdal Hospital must develop with the acquisition of Zuiderzee

This will be done in a lightened form. St Jansdal only wants to keep the Lelystad outpatient clinic open. It only provides care during the day. People who need to be admitted longer must move to Harderwijk.

Lelystad intensive care units and delivery rooms will also close and first aid will be simplified. "All specialized care comes to Harderwijk. We believe this is the only way to make Lelystad work in a cost-effective manner in the future, "said Poelarends.

Additional Staff

Patients Need As Less As Possible to Acquire According to Poelarends, the capacity of Harderwijk is being increased: "This means extra beds and extra office hours in outpatient clinics to avoid increasing waiting times."

Additional staff will be needed in the near future "This may be Lelystad staff, but it may not be necessary, they may also be new employees." Lelystad's employees are still welcome to apply here.We have a special phone number for that. "

According to Poelarends, there is no question of agitation among the employees, but of concern. "Many parents work both ways and know people who work there."

See the interview with Arend Jan Poelarends (the text continues under the video):

At the time of the takeover, the Polyclinic of MC Zuiderzee in Dronten will be kept. "The Noordoostpolder clinics (Urk and Emmeloord, ed) are not part of a possible recovery plan. Hospitals in Sneek and Zwolle need to discuss this.

Red Figures

The acquisition of MC Zuiderzee is striking because St Jansdal is not very good financially either. This is the result of a study conducted by the audit firm BDO that performs each year a test of resistance among hospitals

According to Poelarends, this is explained by the fact that the hospital has moved to a folder last year, which resulted in wait times for a number of treatments and therefore a decrease.

Takeover not yet completed

It is not yet certain that St Jansdal will resume MC Zuiderzee. "We still have a lot of consulting and discovering things. What we have presented now is our plan, but it needs to be clarified in detail until Lelystad becomes part of our hospital. That's why we are often forced to go to the table of conservatives, "says Poelarends.

According to NOS Cardiology Centra Nederland (CCN), a network of cardiovascular disease treatment centers, was also registered for redemption. How conversations with this center are not known.

Too crazy for words & # 39;

Lelystad also responded to the plans. "St Jansdal's management of hospital care in Lelystad is too crazy," says Cees de Bruin, chair of the MC IJsselmeer Hospital Council against Omroep Flevoland.

According to De Bruin, St Jansdal is financially difficult enough. He does not expect the Harderwijk hospital to take over MC Zuiderzee. De Bruin: "We want to continue in a healthy way."

The chairman of the clients' council wants The Hague to help with the resumption of the activities of the hospital. Wednesday, he goes to the debate in the Lower House
