The Hague Sounds Alarm Over Criminal Care Providers: 'Mopping with the Tap Running Open'
The municipalities of Rotterdam, Utrecht, and The Hague are urging the Dutch national government to implement measures against fraudulent care providers and criminal networks exploiting vulnerable citizens. They argue that current local actions are insufficient without federal intervention, describing the situation as ineffective. The cities criticize Minister Mirjam Sterk’s plan to address these issues by 2028 as too late, calling instead for immediate national screening and uniform admission requirements. Additionally, the 50Plus party in the House of Representatives has requested the appointment of a government commissioner to coordinate the fight against care fraud nationwide.
