Household help will remain guaranteed in Geldrop-Mierlo
Residents of Geldrop-Mierlo can continue to count on domestic help through the Wmo. The municipality remains committed to qualitative and accessible Health and guarantees the continuity of services, despite a court ruling on the rates.
Certainty for healthcare providers
Two healthcare providers went to court over the calculation of the sick leave rate in the cost price. The judge ruled in their favor. Based on additional research, it was decided to increase the rate so that care providers could continue to do their jobs.
Clarity for residents
Nothing will change for residents; assistance will remain as they are used to. Residents who have questions about their personal situation can contact the Center for Social Participation (CMD), via e-mail(cmdtoegang@geldrop-mierlo.nl) or by phone (040 289 38 99).
Financial impact
The rate increase will cost the municipality an additional €100,500 annually. The city council is asked to incorporate this effect in the 2025 budget and structurally in the multi-year budget. This will ensure that domestic help remains available.
