Flanders saves 30 million on the residential care centers (or 360 euros per year per resident). How will our elderly feel that?

30 million euros, or converted 360 euros per year per retirement home resident: that is what the Flemish Minister for Welfare Caroline Gennez (Vooruit) wants to save in elderly care. And the people in the residential care centers will feel that, says the sector. “They will not only receive a higher invoice, but also have to pay the increased health insurance premium.” Gennez presents her plan in detail this afternoon in the Flemish Parliament. This is what we already know.
