Folldal office for patient travel proposed folded – Hamar Dagblad

 The proposal is in a note yesterday was sent to the Board of Inland Hospital before the meeting on 2 October, and there treated as information only.


 Division Director Geir Kristoffersen, Prehospital Services, writes in the note included the following:

“Budget entries are for 2015 for Prehospital Services regulations require that the division must reduce costs by 2 million. The load on the emergency medical side of the operation (AMK-Inland, ambulance services and air ambulance service) are so pressured that I do not find it appropriate to consider the Deposition in the part of the business as it will directly lead to a limitation of services to the population in terms of impaired readiness.

 Appropriate measures should be considered in patients travel site. Establishing a Health Coach Eastern Valleys and focus on increased coordination are measures taken, but these do not provide sufficient power to meet requirements.

 To achieve the desired effect, and also to safeguard management professional challenges / costs, I would investigate further the consequences of any moving / relocating department Patient Inland his office in Folldal to Moelv. There are 4, 8 FTEs in five employees, who are employed by running Office Folldal. This is a measure that I currently consider to mean that it will not affect the services available to the population, “writes Kristoffersen.
