Regarding the publication of the vdek in Saarland: "Those in need of care must be permanently relieved," says the deputy state chairman of the FDP Dr. Helmut Isringhaus: "Currently, many negative factors are coming together that are massively driving up the costs of inpatient care. In addition to high inflation, these are mainly the costs for investments, energy, and personnel. This development will financially overwhelm many people in need of care.
There will also be a massive increase in social welfare expenditures for the municipalities, which are already severely underfunded.
We urgently need political decisions and a genuine care reform that also takes home care into account. Otherwise, care becomes a poverty risk for those in need of care and their relatives.”
