Schleswig-Holstein's Minister of Health Heiner Garg (FDP) has called for a national show of strength to make hospitals in Germany more efficient.
The corona pandemic showed this need, he said on Wednesday in a state parliament debate on the country's hospital plan.
"The system of flat rates per case must be supplemented with basic financing."
Kiel - This is necessary so that the clinics can provide offers such as obstetrics.
According to Garg, the system of flat rates per case has led to too many interventions.
There was agreement in the plenary that the hospital plan must also ensure balanced and comprehensive care in the country in the future.
Good working conditions are becoming more and more important, said SPD MP Bernd Heinemann - only then can specialist staff be retained.
The minister also saw it this way: The competition for personnel does not run between “Flensburg and Geesthacht, but between Flensburg and Garmisch”.
