Reading time: 1 min
  • Proposed by: Liberal Alliance (Katrine Daugaard, Helena Artmann Andresen and Alex Vanopslagh)
  • What is proposed:
    • The proposal calls on the Danish Parliament to require the government to introduce a bill by the end of 2027.
    • It must ensure that support and assistive devices for people with significant and lasting disabilities follow the citizen to the greatest extent possible.
  • Who would be affected: The proposal concerns people with significant and lasting disabilities who need assessed support schemes, assistive devices or compensatory benefits.
  • When: The proposal has not been adopted yet. A proposal for a parliamentary resolution is not an act and does not change the rules by itself. If the Danish Parliament adopts it, it is usually a call on the government to act.

What the proposal says:

  • The government must introduce a bill stating that support and assistive devices follow the citizen to the greatest extent possible across municipal boundaries, when moving between schools, educational institutions and workplaces, and at the transition to adult life.
  • The bill must ensure that existing professional assessments and decisions are, as a rule, recognised across authorities and sectors, and that help continues until a new decision is made.
  • The bill must set out the responsibility of authorities and the rules for necessary sharing of information.
  • The bill must give municipalities the option to use positive lists of standard assistive devices and compensatory schemes.
