Wijziging van de Wet op de beroepen in de individuele gezondheidszorg onder andere in verband met de opneming van de mogelijkheid tot taakherschikking

This Dutch bill amends the Individual Health Care Professions Act (Wet BIG), which sets the rules for who may practise regulated healthcare professions in the Netherlands. The main change is to add the option of task reallocation (taakherschikking), meaning that certain medical or care tasks can be moved from one type of professional to another, for example from a doctor to a nurse or other qualified professional, where this is safe and justified. The bill also contains other amendments to the same law. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full legislative text. The bill mainly affects healthcare professionals, their training and registration, and patients who receive care under the revised task divisions. It may also affect healthcare employers and the bodies that register and supervise professionals. The exact scope of which tasks and professions are covered is not clear from the metadata alone.
