The hospitals will receive a total of NOK 6.2 billion more in the revised budget. Among other things, the government is proposing a permanent budget increase of NOK 2.5 billion. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre (Ap) and Health Minister Ingrid Kjerkol (Ap) brought promises in the billions when they visited the new Radiumhospitalet construction project on Wednesday morning. There they were able to say that the government will give the hospitals a total of NOK 6.2 billion more in the revised budget. This includes a permanent budget increase of NOK 2.5 billion, which was already announced in February. The reason is, among other things, the increase in prices which has been greater than what was the basis of the budget adopted by the Storting. The government is aware that the proposed permanent budget increase is necessary to avoid cuts in patient treatment and necessary investments.
