Maximum 160,000 francs in wages and no luxury cars: Natalie Rickli targets private Spitex companies
The Zurich health director wants to prevent expensive cars, high advertising expenses and salaries from being included in nursing care costs. Private home care companies criticize the plans as populist.
Zürich's health director, Natalie Rickli, has proposed new regulations to curb rising care costs, which she says have been driven up by high salaries, expensive cars, and advertising expenses at private care providers. The proposals have been criticized by private Spitex organizations, who say they will not solve the problem and are populist.
The regulations would limit salaries to 160,000 Swiss francs, car purchases to 30,000 Swiss francs, and advertising expenses to 1% of turnover. Private Spitex organizations argue that these limits are too restrictive and will not allow them to operate effectively.
