Thesis 66

Doctors and nursing staff are not allowed to remain on duty for more than 8 hours within 24 hours, contrary to the regulation on statutory working hours. Confidence in medical care and in the functioning of the systems must be restored. However, this does not work with a permanent scheduled overload of doctors and nursing staff in the clinics. To guarantee medical care, doctors and nursing staff may need to be poached from abroad and increasingly trained locally.
