A: - Big money in turn

Several of the parties that have worked to limit the commercial companies within the welfare, respond on the matter.

- We believe that it is the opposite that must be the starting point. We must have a policy which ensures that funds for welfare actually goes to welfare, " he continues.

the Practice of having real estate company on the say that velferdsselskapet rent housing, is fully legal so long as transactions between related parties must be stated according to the current rules. Therefore, the mean Lysbakken that there is little point with the moral pekefingre.

We have a system that makes that this is becoming common practice. To rent their own properties is one of several ways taxpayer money can be for profit. What we need to do to be sure that every penny goes to the welfare, is to prohibit the profit, " says Lysbakken.

- What they have done is legal. What is the problem then?

- It is therefore, the law must be changed. The politicians have set låvedøra wide open for people who want to make themselves rich on welfare. The door will close.

- Usual strategy

Linn Herning in ngo For the welfare state mean on a general basis that it is a common business strategy among firms in the omsorgsbransjen to use tax dollars to pay down on the property.

- Then they can say that they haven't earned their money on omsorgstjenesten, but on the property. But then, it is precisely through omsorgstjenesten that one has built up property. When you are sitting on both sides of the table, one can drain out the values by overfakturere itself.

- In this case they say that they have rented out at market price. What is then the problem?

- It is a general challenge with control. When must the public and consider what is the market price. It is not always so easy to assess.

- What they have done is probably not illegal. Why react some then?

- It may well be that it is not illegal. The question is whether we think it is okay. I think that there are many who react to that skattekroner be used to build up private fortunes.

- What do you think needs to be done?

- We believe that skattefinansierte welfare services should not be driven by commercial stakeholders, because when we get these issues all the time. Then it is better to separate the commercial activities and welfare.

So, they are rich in child welfare and care
