Vermeulen in May offered its apologies in the House for the problems with the payout. Now she speaks for the first time with the media. "What makes it really complicated is that we are also part of the problem. At first I wanted to solve the problems and do not point to other parties.

Vermeulen recognizes that requesting PGBs is complicated. The forms are, in its sometimes incomprehensible for patients and the system must be structurally simplified.

SVB controls since beginning this year the payment of PGBs to about 140,000 patients. By errors in municipalities and SVB were caregivers of many thousands of patients paid late.
