– The association is not allowed to keep funds to plan the continuation of operations, says department director Elise Husum in the Directorate of Health. They have today informed the association that they must repay a further NOK 6.5 million. – The organizational and financial conditions surrounding FFB and the children’s hospice mean that the road to activity and a sound service offer appears long and uncertain, says Husum. The association had around NOK 14 million left in unused funds from 2022. They get to keep NOK 7.7 million of this. Husum states that this is money to cover the costs the association has incurred in connection with, among other things, cleaning up and dismissal of employees. This money is far from used up. Elise Husum is department director for subsidies at the Norwegian Directorate of Health.

This despite the fact that the board had decided that the association should be closed down. The new board of the association had a meeting with the Directorate of Health earlier this week. Husum informs news that the association expressed that they wanted to continue the initiative with a children’s hospice. They then presented a plan for the further work. – Our assessment is that there is a long way to go and that there is great uncertainty associated with it, so we wanted to terminate our relationship with the association, says Husum. The association has already paid back NOK 4.2 million. Thus, the total amount they have to repay is 10.7 million. Left with one million Former chairman of the association Ansgar Gabrielsen has previously informed news that the association is left with approximately NOK 7.5 million in disposable money. This includes an apartment in the center of Kristiansand that the association owns. It is still for sale at around NOK 5.5 million. Thus, the association will be left with around NOK one million when the Norwegian Directorate of Health has received NOK 6.5 million, if the apartment is sold at the asking price. news has not succeeded in getting hold of the association’s new chairman Knut Johannessen for a comment.
