In Lower Austria, you have to wait a year or more for many an operation. For the new healthcare plan, there are still heated discussions about how to shorten this. In an interview with "Krone", LGA boss Elisabeth Bräutigam explains why this is the case, what approach she would like to take and how you can get an appointment much earlier.

The new regional health structure plan is to be presented at the end of March. A secret concept uncovered by the "Krone" back in October, which revealed the impending closure of hospitals and departments, caused a huge stir.
