- The German Medical Association supports a binding primary care system to regulate access to specialists.
- The system requires general practitioners to be the first point of contact, referring patients to specialists only when necessary.
- Union and SPD anticipate faster appointment scheduling and savings of two billion euros by 2028.
- Concerns exist regarding implementation, classification of chronically ill patients, and added burdens on general practitioners.
It is too good to be true. The promised land is being promised through patient management by general practitioners.— Eugen Brysch, head of the Patient Protection Foundation, expresses doubts about the feasibility of the plans by the Union and SPD.
