| Annotation | In the Netherlands, the Exceptional Medical Expenses Act (AWBZ) underwent major reform in 2015, with the aim of saving costs and keeping people self-sufficient for as long as possible. Most forms of non-residential care were transferred to the municipalities and added to the Social Support Act and Youth Act, and insurers were made responsible for home nursing. Residential long-term care will be available under the new Long Term Care Act, which will replace the AWBZ. This article looks at the problems that implementation has faced, including late payments and shortfalls in provision. (NH/RH). |
