District Administrator Frey wants to save clinics: Call for health care!
A lot is happening in Starnberg, and not just when it comes to planning future construction projects. District Administrator Stefan Frey (CSU) is once again facing the electorate and was nominated for a second term of office last Saturday at the Andechs monastery inn. Of 106 delegates from the CSU local associations, a remarkable 105 voted for him. This means that Frey is prepared for the competition for the citizens' votes in the local elections.
Frey, who lives in Starnberg with his wife Ismene and three children, faces the challenges of healthcare in his political responsibility. With the upcoming federal reform, which envisages a restructuring of the clinics, it is clear that the district administrator still has a lot of work to do here. In an emotional appeal that he shared on social media, he expressed his concerns about the cuts that had been decided. From the perspective of a patient in the hospital, he advocates maintaining public health care and calls for the clinics' perspective to be taken into account. His appeal has already reached 26,000 people and was well received by around 840 users.
The focus of the term
But Frey's concerns aren't just about the clinics. In his coming term he would also like to keep the schools in good condition. Particular attention will be paid to the opening of the new high school in Herrsching, which is planned for September 2025. Work on the interior and facade is currently underway, with 50 to 60 workers on the construction site, despite legal disputes regarding the construction work. It is important to stick to the schedule so that students can soon benefit from a modern learning environment.
What also stands out is the restructuring of the clinics, which must comply with the requirements of the new federal law. The future of medical care in the district will depend crucially on this reform, with Frey emphasizing that adequate maximum care must be ensured in areas such as obstetrics, pediatrics and cardiology. The district plans to invest a total of 131 million euros in the clinics - a considerable sum that should lay the foundation for stable health care.
Integration and social issues in focus
Another important point that Frey addresses is the integration of asylum seekers. To this end, numerous measures are being initiated in Starnberg, starting with the new facility in Wörthsee, followed by Tutzing and the new building in Feldafing, which will be completed in February/March 2025. However, it is not just about creating places - integration is a major challenge. That is why initiatives such as job speed dating and the idea of 80-cent jobs to promote the integration of asylum seekers are of central importance.
In the current situation, Starnberg has a quota of 101 percent regarding the allocation of asylum seekers, which is keeping the district busy in the meantime. In addition, a planned increase in the district levy from the current 54.8 percent to 60 percent is being discussed, and voluntary services in the district will be largely reduced.
In summary, it can be said that Stefan Frey not only listens to citizens' concerns, but also follows a clear plan to overcome the challenges in the district. A good hand in local politics could soon prove to be crucial for him and the citizens of Starnberg.
