The man gets a personal budget (PGB), a government subsidy that the family itself can purchase care. "But you can not see the PGB as income. This means that if you as a carer is himself injured, you have no right to a benefit," said the woman of the family. She sees it as a gap in care in the Netherlands.
Increasingly crowdfunding be organized more frequently in care. A paraplegic patients from Nijmegen succeeded earlier in with such a donation campaign via the Internet to get enough money together to buy a robot suit to be able to walk again. In Flushing brought a crowdfunding action enough money for the renovation of the Admiral De Ruyter Hospital.
