📋 Tender Overview
NEOS health spokesman Gerald Loacker supported the direct election of the representatives in the bodies of the social insurance institutions by the insured and companies instead of the bodies being charged by the chambers in a - mostly adjourned - motion for a resolution. He expects a better perception of the interests of the insured for example when it comes to the end of different levels of benefits. In addition it is necessary to stop the decline in contract physicians that has been recorded in recent years - while at the same time there has been a sharp increase in elective doctors. Loacker suspects that health insurance companies are interested in restrictive job planning in order to achieve cost savings. In addition he locates an information gap with the social insurance institutions the regular and standardized publication of earnings forecasts would be urgently necessary.Representative Markus Koza Greens spoke of an exciting topic. However elections alone could not be a solution since the question of representativity arises for example with regard to the respective turnout. MP Alois Stger pointed out that the annual reports are published on the Internet and that the GKs Supervisory Board resolutions can also be found on the homepage. He called the coalition parties committee statement a no-n-ned proposal especially since the reporting obligations are already laid down by law. In the event of violations the supervisory authority is required. He also wanted more transparency regarding the health care institutions which are financed to a large extent from public funds.The committees determination assumes that the adjustments to the accounting regulations required due to the merging of the social insurance institutions will also ensure the necessary transparency and the publication of annual reports explained MP August Wginger VP. In addition one advocates the publication of meaningful management forecasts this was not previously provided for in the law. While the NEOS motion for a resolution on social security was rejected the majority of the votes approved by the OVP and the Greens were approved.
