9 December 2022 at 13:31 Gives up giant profit in Oslo hospital Oslo University Hospital (OUS) gives up the goal of exceeding NOK 400 million in profit next year. This money was to be saved for the construction of, among other things, new hospitals. But the management now advocates that the target for next year should be 50 million in profit instead. This is due, among other things, to the fact that such drastic cuts as planned “would be difficult to implement in practice and could have major negative consequences for the patient service”, it is stated in the budget papers the board of the OUS is to take a decision on 16 December. But the document also states that the savings target must be increased again for 2024, so as not to affect future investments. Since the financial situation for the hospital is so difficult, the clinics must nevertheless cut operations for next year. In practice, the change is an orientation to reality, believe the union representatives news is talking to.
