The elderly in the country’s nursing homes must drop to take on the bus tours. It happens, because plejehjemmene can’t get a parking card for their free buses, so they can hold on to the handicap seats.
It shows a review Extra Magazine among the 40 nursing homes.
the Now former health Minister and current older-rapporteur of the Social democratic party, Astrid Krag, have ældreminister Thyra Frank (LA) to interfere in the discussion.
– If not, she ældreminister can go into a discussion on how to ensure the quality of life, it provides the most vulnerable older people to get on the trip, then she has failed in its responsibility, says Astrid Krag to Ekstra Bladet.
Although the notice of parking tokens belong to the field of transport, believe Astrid Krag, that it must be an obvious case for Thyra Frank, who has been advocating for less red tape in nursing homes, to go into.
– Where is Thyra Frank in this case?, says Astrid Krag, and continues:
– She must take hold of the minister for transport mr Ole Birk Olesen and tell him that it is simply not acceptable, he pushes it here problem over at the elderly and plejehjemspersonalet, she says.
minister for Transport mr Ole Birk Olesen (LA) will not be to change the ordinance. He explains in an email, that it only requires a single resident with a parking card to keep on the handicap space.
Astrid Krag has even heard about the problem with the parking card, when she has visited nursing homes. She will now press for changes to the rules, so plejehjemmene can even get a parking card.
already have transportudvalgets president, Kim Christiansen (DF), stated that he supports a change, so long as it is assured, that you can’t abuse the parking card.
Astrid Crows recommends that you make a two-year trial period to assess whether it can lead to abuse.
– But I have no reason to assume that the staff or the volunteers will abuse the bus, says Astrid Krag.
Thyra Frank informs through the ministry’s pressevagt, she did not want to comment on the matter, since it is outside of her area of the law.
