Development Minister Schenk unveils Care Progression Scheme

Katharina Schenk Unveils Thuringia's Care Masterplan: A Game Changer for Relatives!

Minister announces plan for care improvements - Minister Schenk reveals details of scheduled care advancement strategy

Hey there! It's all about Thuringia's latest move in the care sector. Health Minister, Katharina Schenk (SPD), has just announced the Care Development Plan which outlines key objectives, projects, and recommendations in the realm of care policy up to 2030.

Now, let me break it down. This bad boy will shed light on our future care policies and provide suggestions across numerous areas of action. But hey, it's not just headed to the bookshelf – the Care Development Plan is set to be finalized by June 30!

The Left faction, a group in Thuringia, has been vocal about their demands, stressing on the need for a solidarity-based care insurance system. They pointed out an interesting fact – around 80% of care in Thuringia is provided by family members and loved ones, aka us! That's right, folks! But our current insurance system, according to Left MP Katja Maurer, is more like a patchy cover, misses the mark, and needs some serious fixing.

Maurer argues that this solidarity-based insurance system should extend to civil servants, self-employed individuals, and MPs too.

Now, the SPD's Cornelia Urban has a radical idea up her sleeve – a wage replacement for caring relatives! She also hinted at the possibility of actual remuneration for our hard work.

The CDU's health policy spokesman, Christoph Zippel, hasn't been left behind. He argues that the current care insurance system isn't sustainable in the long run and advocates for some well-deserved breaks for us caregivers.

Stefan Wogawa, a BSW health politician, has predicted a significant increase in the number of people who will need care in the coming years. To tackle this rise, he says the traffic light coalition has agreed to conduct a preliminary study for a state care allowance or wage for caregivers. The goal? To create a realistic solution tailored to Thuringia!

That's a wrap, folks! Keep an eye out for more updates, and here's to better care for our loved ones!
