In short
Reading time: 1 min- What changes:
- The region now has tasks that are new in the executive order.
- This covers rehabilitation at specialised level, where the plan is sent to the patient's region of residence, and where the region must inform the citizen within four days.
- Previously the municipality had to inform the citizen about both general rehabilitation and rehabilitation at specialised level, and this still applies to general rehabilitation.
- The free choice of rehabilitation provider now also applies to the region's institutions, not only the municipalities'.
- When: The executive order will enter into force on 1 January 2027.
