Statute overview

About this statute

The Government puts into use an emergency power that lets municipalities ignore statutory deadlines for arranging non-urgent health care. The Government uses an emergency-power provision to allow municipalities to disregard statutory deadlines for non-urgent health care. Specialised health care must start assessing care need within three weeks after a referral, and medically or odontologically necessary care must be arranged within a reasonable time. A municipality or joint municipal authority may depart from non-urgent care time limits only in limited urgent or imminent situations. Certain healthcare waiting-time limits may be waived for urgent care, and some specialized-care assessments must start within three weeks of a referral. This provision sets when the regulation starts and when it stops applying, and it also contains a later note saying it enters into force on 26 March 2021.
