  • What is proposed:
    • The proposal calls on the Danish Parliament to require the Minister for Social Affairs to introduce a bill before the end of the 2026-27 parliamentary year.
    • The bill must ensure that citizens with a BPA scheme have the right to have their assistants provide holistic help, including carrying out light health tasks that other citizens without a disability could perform themselves.
  • Who would be affected: The proposal concerns citizens with a BPA scheme, meaning citizen-directed personal assistance, and their personal assistants.
