District Administrator Josef Niedermaier sharply rejects Thomas Lippmann's criticism.
The managing director of the Weilheim-Schongau GmbH hospital did not leave a good hair at the Wolfratshausen district clinic.
Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen / Weilheim-Schongau
- The reaction of District Administrator Josef Niedermaier (Free Voters) follows immediately. In a written statement to our newspaper, Niedermaier describes the statements of the managing director of the Weilheim-Schongau GmbH hospital, Thomas Lippmann, on the situation of the Wolfratshausen district clinic as "unheard of and dishonest".
Lippmann (“Nobody has asked us yet”) brought the Weilheim-Schongau GmbH into play as a potential strategic partner for the Wolfratshausen District Clinic, as reported at the request of our newspaper. Strangely enough, he criticized the facility on Moosbauerweg in the same breath: "Due to the inadequate financial resources, we have a clinic in Wolfratshausen without contours that has no medical highlights and no unique selling points," he said. Responsible for this misery is the owner of the house, the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district, which in the past failed to “invest heavily” in order to make the Wolfratshauser hospital fit for the future.
The remote diagnosis to which Mr. Lippmann feels called is unheard of and dishonest.
These statements come from someone from the local family who is trying to poach staff from surrounding clinics with questionable methods and, in our experience, has hardly any inhibitions. "
District Administrator Josef Niedermaier
You can very well imagine Niedermaier's mood when you read the first lines of his press release: “What is that supposed to mean?
What the managing director of the hospital GmbH of the neighboring district in Isar-Loisachboten / Geretsrieder Merkur utters not only annoys me immensely, but is also absolutely dubious and uncooperative! "He, Niedermaier, cannot and does not want to leave Lippmann's statements as they are" .
What the managing director of the Hospital Weilheim-Schongau GmbH read in the local newspaper is not only "destructive", but: "Lippmann's statements are also completely unfounded."
Wolfratshausen remains "no ifs or buts" as a clinic location.
Niedermaier attaches importance to the statement: "The claim made in the article that the district is questioning the future of the district clinic under the motto 'Future health care in the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district', among other things, is incorrect." of the clinic supervisory board, emphasizes: “I want the district clinic in Wolfratshausen a) to have a future and b) we also shape this future. This was and is the objective of the process that has been set in motion. ”He asserts that Wolfratshausen“ remains a clinic location without any ifs or buts ”- even if this“ is wrongly questioned again and again ”.
The remote diagnosis, to which hospital managing director Lippmann felt “called”, “is unheard of and dishonest”.
These statements "come from someone from the local family who is trying to poach staff from the surrounding clinics with questionable methods and, according to our experience, hardly knows any inhibitions," says Niedermaier indignantly.
He has photos "of the flyers that were distributed in front of the clinical facilities in the county" that would substantiate his claim.
Niedermaier: "Should something like this be a basis for cooperation between municipalities?"
A limit has been crossed for District Administrator Niedermaier
For Niedermaier, in his own words, the barrel is full: “With these statements, Lippmann is now crossing a limit that I will not tolerate.” He will urge his official colleague in Weilheim-Schongau, District Administrator Andrea Jochner-Weiß (CSU), “that she puts her managing director in his place. "
The beginning of a wonderful friendship that Lippmann had in mind between his hospital GmbH and the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district is not in sight after this violent dispute.
A cooperation with a managing director "who in his business is dependent on an annual subsidy of between 7.5 and ten million euros from district funds" is what Josef Niedermaier says is "difficult to imagine".
He points out: "Such sums in the district budget would deprive our district of any ability to act, for example in other important social areas."
What does the district administrator of Weilheim-Schongau say about the dispute?
When asked on Friday, District Administrator Andrea Jochner-Weiß did not want to comment directly on the harsh words of her colleague in the Tölzer District Office: “We are all responsible for our own houses. I can say that we score points with our hospitals with quality and service. ”Otherwise, she does not interfere in the debate that is being carried out in the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district. "We only said that we would listen to it when someone came to us with an offer - no more and no less." Nothing has changed about that. Jochner-Weiß: "We can talk to each other." (Cce)
