Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)
Lovforslaget implementerer en politisk aftale, som regeringen indgik den 1. november 2024 med alle Folketingets partier om en yderligere udvidelse af ordningen, der giver visse patienter adgang til at søge et særligt tilskud til tandpleje efter sundhedsloven. Med lovforslaget bliver sundhedslovens § 166 udvidet, så tre nye patientgrupper, der som følge af deres sygdom eller sygdomsbehandling har et særligt behov for tandbehandling, kan søge om det særlige tilskud til tandpleje. Det drejer sig om følgende: - Patienter, der er i fast behandling med psykofarmaka af typen tricykliske antidepressiva, hvor behandlingen har varet i 6måneder eller mere. - Patienter med en svær psykisk lidelse, der er i fast behandling med psykofarmaka, hvor behandlingen har været i 6måneder eller mere. - Patienter med refluks efter operation med hel eller delvis fjernelse af lukkemusklen mellem spiserør og mavesæk.
