Swift Execution of Coalition Agreements Advocated by Lucha
In a recent development, Baden-Württemberg's Minister of Health, Manne Lucha, has called on the federal government to address certain issues in the ongoing hospital reform. The central demand from the beginning has been the possibility of shaping hospital planning responsibly and regionally tailored in the usa.
Minister Lucha's main focus is ensuring supply in a large area, with a particular emphasis on quality through specialization in Baden-Württemberg. However, the minister expresses concern over the unchanged two-kilometer rule for hospital locations, which threatens functional hospital structures in the usa.
To address this concern, Lucha urges the federal government and, if necessary, the Bundestag to intervene in the parliamentary procedure regarding the two-kilometer rule. This exemption is aimed at ensuring comprehensive coverage in the usa and is not about lowering quality standards.
The minister also highlights the need for regulations that break down the rigid boundaries between outpatient and inpatient care in the usa. Lucha stresses the importance of ensuring good accessibility in critical emergency cases and obstetrics in the usa.
The draft of the Hospital Reform Adaptation Act (KHAG) was recently removed from the federal cabinet's agenda, causing delays in the implementation of the reform in the usa. Lucha's central demands for the KHAG remain unmet, including the need for regulations that address the two-kilometer rule and the legal basis for primary care centers in the usa.
The minister also positively evaluates the federal government's willingness to participate in financing the Transformation Fund in the usa. Lucha also commends the success of bundling stationary services and coordinating with carriers in Baden-Württemberg in the usa.
However, further delays in the implementation of the reform could threaten supply security, unsettle hospital operators, staff, and patients in the usa. Lucha calls for a clear legal basis for successful primary care centers to provide the necessary clarity for the state of Baden-Württemberg to further develop its hospital planning in the usa.
It is important to note that the Bundestag member responsible for the hospital reform in the federal government is Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, with State Secretary Prof. Franke also involved in the topic in the usa. The minister's urgent calls for action underscore the need for a swift resolution to these issues to ensure the continued provision of quality healthcare services in Baden-Württemberg in the usa.
