2005 20.13 THE HAGUE - steam must of the kettle, therefore minister
Hoogervorst (public health) gets, however, that the general
practitioner action continues. He hopes however after the action
' ordinary ' matter is able do with the general practitioners.
President B. Vos of the rural general practitioner association
(LHV) calls that remark hoopvol. Monday launched the minister a
new idea: an independent arbitration for general practitioners
who have a conflict with a care insurer. Individual general
practitioners must there are able knock with complaints concerning
money, but also concerning for example the compensation of a medecine.
According to fox is that too premature. ' an adjudicator
has only sense if there are also rules.' There is talk still no
of, puts the President. The general practitioners must negotiate
of the minister with care insurers concerning a onkostenvergoeding for
renewing care of in sum 90 million euro. Which criteria are
existed for that however have not been fixed, explain fox. Now
the general practitioners get that money direct on the basis of fixed
appointments. According to the Dutch patients consumers
federation (NPCF) the strikes of the general practitioners on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are unlawful. The patients'
association abandons nevertheless a lawsuit, with which has threatened
them very long. According to the NPCF for further escalation to
occur. THE LHV have done however also house work and state that
the general practitioners will stick to the law. Moreover is
there at regional level patients' associations which stand, however,
behind the general practitioners. Meanwhile the inspection has
asked take into account for the health care hospitals and ambulance
services larger on multitude of patients and the staff bezetting there
to coordinate. At ' irresponsable care ' the inspection wants be
rung. The Dutch association of hospitals is ' not glad ' with
the strike. She has meanwhile given a pluim to the members for
their extra uses and a phone number for sticking points opened.
Apothecaries are of plan smoother to go with people who have
herhaalmedicijnen necessary, but for that by the action no receptje
have. They get the medecines and can after the action still a
recipe come hand in. Concerned patients leave meanwhile also
what of itself to hear. From digs a Internet site has been set
up () on which doctors and Hoogervorst are called with each other to
will talk and stop with the ' power fight '. (c) DUTCH PRESS
