Agenda

Local government as initiator, owner, and coordinator of consolidation processes. Impact of consolidation decisions on service availability and health security. Consolidation practice: proposals for hospitals in difficult financial situations, considering reducing the number of wards or transforming them. Assumptions and aspects of recovery plans. Legal and financial frameworks for consolidation – what do local governments expect from the state? How to avoid shifting risks onto local authorities? Indicators of a successful process: efficiency, quality, and continuity of services.
