Due to the lack of the available workers, the policy wasn’t, well-thought-out one bit, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
The Department of Sanitation Welfares pushed for the new version of Long-Term Care 2.0, and yet, there was only a sixty-four percent rate of use, the local governments had, returned at least $2.8 billion N.T.s back to the government. This was, the expected results, and, the budgets of the programs, had been recycled and recounted too; reason being, how the government didn’t train the long-term care workers beforehand, the reliance on the private sectors, and there’s a less than forty-percent rate of the homecare program providers, how can it start working overnight, if the Department of Sanitation and Welfare doesn’t change its ways, other than not balancing out the budgets; more seriously, there would be, more tragedies that stemmed from the ill-provided for systems of long-term care.
The two sectional problems of Long-Term Care 1.0 was that there’s a lacking in budget and lacking in personnel. Although, Long-Term Care 2.0 was able to get the nearly $30 billion N.T. in funding from the inheritance taxes, the cigarette taxes, but, for the first six months, it’d only received $5.76 billion N.T.s, and, based off of the estimates, although it’s less than half of what was expected, compared to the long-term care program budgets from the last president’s term, it’d, grown by the multiples.
The problem is that even with the money, the long-term care services still won’t grow on trees, because they can’t get more workers to sign on the program, without a steady pay rate, no professional certifications, nor the safety of the workplace.
The policies of Long-Term Care 2.0 should be fulfilling to the demands of the citizens, but the citizens felt, that “we can see the program, but we can’t use it”, they saw the publicity of the program posed by the government; but on the lacking of the personnel, people can’t get the home care they needed provided to them, or that the caretakers came, but not for enough hours, let alone, the plans that helps the elderly transition out of the hospital stays, or the Alzheimer’s nursing home’s case managements, or the security of the nursing homes’ residents.
the changes in the provisions of the care between the past long-term care program and the current…found online…
The Department of Health and Sanitations should focus on getting enough personnel, establish the personnel’s work abilities, then, train them to provide the services needed, because without these professional homecare providers, Taiwan will NEVER see a system of long-term care program, and, offering the workers a fitting work environment, high enough pay, without any of these, the structure of the system of long-term care won’t work properly.
Toward how the long-term care program being set up, the Department of Social Welfare should satisfy the basic needs of the citizens, and STOP putting the spotlights on embellishing the policies; no matter how good the policies, the citizens are still living in distress, don’t do it that the money’s been spent, but, Long-Term Care 2.0 still isn’t set up right!
And so, the government still just made empty promises on long-term care services, because that, is WHAT politicians do, make those empty promises, so the constituencies are STUPID enough to vote for them the next time, without the set up STEP-BY-STEP measures, of how to achieve this needed system of long-term care, and, a lot of funding had already gone in, but, where’s the results?
