Fringe-the mayor: The biggest problem is lægemangel

the Government wants to train a further 100 additional specialists in general medicine. It is they who often work in general practice. It is apparent from the government's sundhedsudspil, which has just been presented in the prime minister's office.

In the proposal, emphasis is placed on that part of the sundhedsbehandlingen must move from the regions and closer to the individual citizen. To it, there is a need for more practitioners.

And, precisely, it becomes one of the major challenges, among others, in Guldborgsund Municipality, where John Boards from Guldborgsundlisten is the mayor.

I think that is the most important thing that it here must come to work for the citizens. It is, in fact, that we are allowed to handle it around lægedækningen.

- Yes, because it is the one of the big questions. Do you think at all, there are practitioners enough? In your area also?

- Yes, the biggest problem in the whole country right now, it is, of course, that there is generally not enough trained doctors. There are come very small vintages of the last courses. But as it looks right now, so looking to the check in, to about three years, then there will of course be trained far more doctors.

- We have just had the pleasure, there are two practicing physicians who are quite educated, who have chosen to open the general practice down in Nykøbing Falster, so I think, actually, that we are in able to handle, says the mayor.
