Commission recommends a decision on granting assistance to disaster victims.
In a significant move, the Social Affairs, Health, Inclusion, Seniors, and Employment Promotion Committee (ASGISB) in Solingen has approved a motion by the CDU faction, aiming to address a pressing issue: the care gap that arises when a primary caregiver in a family suddenly needs hospitalisation.
The motion, an important step towards ensuring nursing care in emergency situations, seeks to find a solution for couples or families where one person is caring for another. In such cases, a sudden hospital stay of the caring relative can be an existential burden for these families, as no one is available to take over care temporarily, potentially exacerbating the situation.
Sonja Flemm, the social policy spokeswoman for the CDU faction, emphasised the motion's importance, stating that it is crucial for relatives to know that their loved ones will not be left alone in an emergency. Christian Goetz, the CDU's expert citizen in the Social Committee, further explained that the emergency services would not lose sight of their primary task with this arrangement.
A possible solution could be the introduction of an emergency number for emergency services. This emergency number would allow the remaining person in need of care to be professionally cared for during the hospital stay of the caring relative. Additionally, the motion calls for a comprehensive review to ensure the emergency care of those in need of care, exploring if hospital clinics, during discharge management, can provide short-term care as a synergy source in emergency cases.
While specific details about the implementation of these solutions in Solingen are yet to be determined, the general approach aligns with typical emergency care solutions. These typically involve establishing emergency contacts or hotlines to provide immediate assistance and guidance for families in crisis, as well as temporary care services or support networks that can step in when a primary caregiver is suddenly unavailable.
As the details of Solingen's ASGISB motion unfold, it is expected that further information will be made available, providing insights into how this motion aims to close care gaps, ensuring that families receive structured emergency support during caregiver hospitalisation.
