Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)

Med lovforslaget foreslås det at skabe juridisk grundlag for at kom­mun­al­bestyrelsen kan yde støtte til individuelt tilpassede kom­pres­sion­sproduk­ter, selv om hjælp til disse produkter kan bevilges efter anden lovgivning. Formålet er at undgå, at borgere må vente på nødvendige produkter, mens kommunen og regionen afklarer, hvem der har ansvaret. Forslaget følger op på »Politisk aftale om udlevering af kom­pres­sion­sproduk­ter« af 18. december 2025 mellem den daværende regering bestående af Socialdemokratiet, Venstre og Moderaterne, Danske Regioner og KL. Løsningen er tiltænkt at være gældende frem til implementering og ikrafttræden af et initiativ om kommende model for et klart ansvar for be­hand­ling­sred­skaber og hjælpemidler, jf. »Aftale om sundhedsreform« af 15. november 2024. Loven foreslås at træde i kraft dagen efter bekendtgørelsen i Lovtidende.
