Federal Council delays hospital transparency law
“Transparency has to come. The transparency of which hospital is particularly good for which service, so that citizens can make an informed decision. The patients need that, we won't shake that, we won't move away from that." Federal Health Minister Prof. Karl Lauterbach explained this after the Federal Council voted with a narrow majority of 35 votes to refer his planned hospital transparency law to the mediation committee. This is “tends to be bad news for patients.” Because it costs valuable time.
