The truth about hospital closures: Loop hospital hypocrisy

Lars Løkke Rasmussen's allegations of massive sygehuslukninger sailing.

the Prime minister has tried to dry a number of the closures on the reamer Mette Frederiksen (S). But the truth is, many of the hospitals have turned the key in the blue state governments, where the Loop itself has been a key player.

the Loop attack on Mette Frederiksen took place on top of the with the debate in the Parliament on Tuesday last week.

- I think that was closed 14 akutsygehuse, while mrs. Mette Frederiksen, minister, sounded the assertion from the Loop.

But here I think the Loop is completely wrong. According to the ministry of Health has 18 hospitals have closed since 2007, when the structural reform came into force. It was the 14 of the hospitals closed under Left-led governments, where the Loop has served as both the interior and the minister of health, minister of finance and prime minister.

In a reply to Ekstra Bladet admits Loop as also, that his claim does not hold in reality. However, he explains that it really was a completely different point, he would have.

'My point was that the socialist regionsrådsformænd, not state governments, as I was told, has been behind the closure of many hospitals through the ages. I know there are at least 14 hospitals – maybe even more - which over the years has been either closed completely or converted from the hospitals to the fx sundhedshuse with a social-democratic international architects for the exhibition. It is, I believe, that you can remember in Elsinore, denmark, Brovst or Otter, just to mention some examples,' says the prime minister in a written comment.

But it is nonsensical to owe the blame for sygehuslukningerne on regionsrådsformændene. This is the sound of the reaction from the Loop generals and chairman of the Danish Regions, Stephanie Lose. Instead, she shows that sygehuslukningerne not least the result of the structural reform from 2007, as the Loop itself was the architect behind the.

'With the structural reform in 2007, specialeplan and funds for new supersygehuse was there from the national team set a clear direction for how health care should be organized - whether I wrote was blue or red, notes Stephanie Lose in a written comment.

the Left voted for the
in Addition, witnesses a rundringning to the country's regions that the majority of sygehuslukningerne since 2007 was decided, with the support from the Left. Including closures in Brovst and the Otter, as the Loop itself highlights in its reply to Ekstra Bladet.

Helsingør Hospital - like Loop also mentions - is not a part of the health ministry's inventory of closed hospitals. This is because there still is a akutfunktion in the city.

Lars Løkke Rasmussen's spin doctor states that he does not have further to add to the case.

Harsh criticism: Typical ‘go-it-so-goes-the’ from ' Loop

- Either as lying, Lars Løkke, or is he not as sharp to the with health, as he goes and says. You can hear well, it is many years ago, the Loop itself has had something with health to do.

The former health minister Astrid Krag is relentless in its criticism of that Lars Løkke has no track facts about sygehuslukningerne.

The socialist politician believes that the prime minister is trying to dry her own government's problems of the social-democratic-led government that was in power from 2011-2015.

- It is a typical ‘go-it-so-goes-the’ from the Loop. He would like to take credit for all the good things that have happened in our health care system since the turn of the millennium, but he tries at the same time to wipe the problems of in the four years, there was a different government from 2011 to 2015, though he is good at, it is of course not true, she says.
