The new health savings package introduced by the federal government is set to profoundly impact psychotherapy services in Germany. Professional associations are sounding alarms, predicting dire consequences such as significantly longer waiting times for patients and a substantial reduction in available therapy appointments. Critics argue that these austerity measures will not achieve their intended purpose of cost reduction. Instead, associations fear the package will actually backfire, leading to „horrendous“ additional costs within the mental health sector. This development is widely condemned for potentially exacerbating existing challenges in accessing crucial psychological support and further straining an already stretched system.
Längere Wartezeiten und weniger Termine: Das neue Gesundheits-Sparpaket der Bundesregierung trifft die Psychotherapie in Deutschland hart. Statt Ersparnissen befürchten Verbände eher horrende Mehrkosten.
