What the agreement says:

  • National service levels are set based on a range in the number of support hours.
  • All services receive the same fixed rate for the same service level, regardless of who owns the service.
  • The municipalities set the rates jointly in each region, and private providers can complain about the rates to an independent control unit in the Danish Competition and Consumer Authority; the municipalities first discuss a proposal with the private and self-owned providers.
  • The municipalities must follow up on whether the citizen has been assigned the right service level, no later than three months after moving in.
