Zhongxin Finance, March 7th. On the 7th, a media asked: In recent years, the proportion of the elderly population in my country has increased rapidly, and the pressure and cost of raising children is very high. Many people have a feeling of being attacked from top to bottom. What are the policy considerations for expanding the supply of elderly care and childcare services?
In this regard, Lian Weiliang, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, responded at a press conference on the 7th that "one old and one small" is now the most concerned people's livelihood event. Hot search.
Improving the effective supply of old-age care is a key task for economic and social development this year. We will focus on three things, namely, incremental improvement, inclusive benefits, and strict supervision.
One is incremental quality improvement.
Now the society's demand for nursing care for the elderly, especially the need for high-quality nursing care for the elderly, is very urgent.
At the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the number of old-age beds in the country should reach more than 9 million, and the scale of nursery places for infants and young children should reach more than 6 million.
The key is to expand the scale around the high-quality resources that the people urgently demand, such as pension institutions that are "hard to find" and nursery institutions that are "hard to find". Investments in the central budget will be given key support, while fiscal and taxation costs will be reduced. , credit, land, talents and other related policies have been put in place, and the supply of high-quality resources for old-age care has been greatly increased.
Second, Pratt & Whitney is nearby.
After these years of development, it should be said that the total number of elderly care institutions and the total number of elderly care beds have increased significantly.
However, the utilization rate of some beds is not high. In addition to the impact of the epidemic in the past two years, a very important reason is the mismatch between supply and demand, the accuracy of supply is not enough, and the quality is not high.
The people most need affordable, convenient and accessible services, and the services around them the most, so the focus of incremental quality improvement should be on inclusive benefits and proximity.
Inclusive benefits means that the government should give greater policy support to help service agencies reduce costs, and service agencies will lower prices to consumers.
Nearby, is to fully implement the requirements for the provision of community nursing care for the elderly.
At the same time, guide all kinds of elderly care services to extend to the community and to the family.
The third is strict supervision.
The quality and reliability of nursing care for the elderly are the issues that everyone is most concerned about now.
At present, there are indeed many problems in this regard. For example, some institutions have low service quality, unreasonable fees, and consumers have opinions; some institutions lack integrity, and even some illegal incidents such as "running" have deceived the elderly. People's "life-saving money" has seriously impacted the bottom line of social morality and law.
In this regard, it is necessary to effectively strengthen the coordinated supervision of the departments, further improve the standards and regulations, and comprehensively improve the service quality and level of nursing care for the elderly.
He said, "After the epidemic, my country will usher in a rapid recovery of old-age care and nursing. For this, we must be fully prepared and strive to increase the effective supply of old-age care." (End)
