The government wants to see sharper measures against rogue and criminal performers in HVB homes, home care and personal assistance.
Stricter penalties and better control should be investigated.

The alarms have been many about criminals who drive home for care or housing, HVB, and about cheating and crime in home care and personal assistance.
The Government has now decided that a special investigator should propose measures that strengthen the inspection for care and care (IVO) supervision and opportunities to act against rogue performers of care services.
The investigator should look at whether IVO should be allowed to take part in the suspicion register when the authority in supervisory cases examines the appropriateness of the owners. It should also be investigated whether there is a requirement that IVO always makes a new permit test when there are changes in the care and management circle of care companies.
In addition, the investigator will see if there is a need for penalties for the person who conducts an activity without a permit or in violation of a ban. The question is whether imprisonment should also be on the scale and not just fines.
Sanction fees for deficiencies that are not so serious that permits are revoked or that an activity is prohibited must also be investigated.
The investigation will be completed on February 9, 2027.
