“A strong voice for those in need of care in Berlin”
Following Saarland, which introduced the role of a care representative in May 2013, and Bavaria, which established the office of a patient and care representative in November 2013, the state of Berlin has also had a care representative since June 2024. Although the final appointment has yet to be made, Prof. Dr. Sinja H. Meyer-Rötz has temporarily assumed the newly created position, thus implementing an important point of its coalition agreement: explicitly appointing a contact person for those in need of care and their families. "This task is a top priority for me and is a matter close to my heart," explains Prof. Meyer-Rötz in her first monitoring report (1).
