‘Care changes will boost homelessness’
Planned changes to the AWBZ national insurance system for long-term care could lead to thousands of people becoming homeless, the emergency care federation said in a letter to junior health minister Jet Bussemaker on Monday.
The changes, aimed at saving €800m, mean that people with a light physical or mental handicap will no longer be entitled to help to allow them to live independently, the federation says.
