Plan B for Hospital Care in the styric district of Liezen heats the mind and is criticized by experts. A bottleneck: do the adjacent Federal States Salzburg and Upper Austria take up more styric patients as hoped? Asked the “crown”.
No new clinic in the heart of the district, but the survival of the three hospital locations Rottenmann, Bad Aussee and Schladming: this is the political will for the huge district of Liezen. An expert committee has developed a plan B for this. The concept is greatly criticized by experts such as former Med-Uni rector Hellmut Samonigg, but the FPö-OVP government states. The final decision must be made in the fall.
One thing is clear: the plan can only succeed with Cross -State Cooperations. In particular, the Schwarzenberg clinic in Schwarzach (Salzburg) and the Salzkammergut Clinic Bad Ischl (Upper Austria) will in the future offer part of the Ennstaler and Auss -Lake patients. Samonigg also finds a positive approach in itself – but he doubts about the practical implementation.
Salzburg State Councilor Gutschi is “confident”
Are the neighbors ready for new collaborations? A clear yes comes from the Cardinal-Schwarzenberg clinic in Schwarzach: “We have the capacity to take over patients from Styria. In fact, there is the willingness to support within the framework of our opportunities.” In which framework and scope this would be possible is the subject of probes in which the state of Salzburg is also integrated.
The decisions are ultimately made at the political level. The Salzburg Health Councilor Daniela Gutschi (ÖVP) is confident that the conversations that have started will be successful: “The cross -federal state cooperation in the health sector, especially with the hospitals, is necessary in order to continue to ensure the best care quality for the population in the Future.
“In selected specialized areas”
On the outside it is still reluctant in upper Austria. On request, the Holding Holding Company says: “In the coming weeks, discussions will be held between the hospital providers to develop solutions together how the care for patients in selected specialized areas can be guaranteed in the usual high quality in Upper Austria.
It is interesting to refer to “selected specialized areas”. It also doesn’t sound like a cancellation in the upper Austria.
