Thirteen people die a day.

prevention, whereas this is so important to prevent, for example, hospitalisation. "Are you willing to talk to stakeholders such as municipalities, employers and health insurers to investigate how nurses can get time and space to pay attention to prevention," Léonie Sazias asked secretary of state Log cabin. "Exercise is so important, it reduces the risk of conditions such as dementia, cardiovascular disease and diabetes." In 2018, an average of thirteen people a day died after a fall. "What measures will the Secretary of State take now to reduce this shocking number," Léonie Sazias said during the debate in the House of Representatives.► The contribution of Mp Léonie Sazias to the Lifestyle Prevention Committee debate with State Secretary Blokhuis of VWS:"In the debate on the prevention agreement, I tabled a motion on clinical treatment for smokers who cannot stop. The minister would come up with a letter. When can I expect this letter? The Patient Federation receives signals that people who ask for lifestyle support are with their GP who then do not receive them. Have the health insurers contracted enough lifestyle support? And are patients actively reminded of the possibilities around this support and are they referred to a provider? Research by CBS shows that an average of 13 people a day died in 2018 after a fall. The number continues to rise and cannot be explained only by the ageing population. I have written questions about this.  In the spring, the Secretary of State will inform us of what is needed to make fall prevention available nationwide. As far as 50PLUS is concerned, measures must be taken as soon as possible. Is he prepared, in view of the shocking figures, to speed up this process? We'd like to hear what the Secretary of State is going to do right now. And is he also exploring the possibility of having older people screened annually at an increased risk of fall? I googled last week and it strikes me that the available courses are difficult to find. This also applies to other supply of movement for the elderly. We get signals from professionals like GPs that they often don't know what supply there is for older people within their municipality. Is the Secretary of State prepared to engage with municipalities and encourage courses to be better findable? Exercise is so important, it reduces the risk of conditions such as dementia, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. A recent survey by the V&UN shows that 96% of nurses and carers, among other things, consider exercise and fall prevention to be the most important when it comes to preventive care. They are not only concerned about the high workload and too few colleagues, but also insufficient expertise on prevention in the organisation. And because the effect of prevention is so difficult to measure, health insurers are often unwilling to reimburse. The nurses consider movement and hygiene and infection prevention to be of great importance. I say it again: Exercise is so important and can prevent, for example, a hospitalization. Is the Secretary of State prepared to engage with stakeholders such as municipalities, employers and health insurers to investigate how nurses can get time and space to pay attention to prevention? Finally, the Secretary of State has indicated that the Netherlands will work with the Nutri-Score. 50PLUS is pleased that the Nutri-Score is equated as much as possible with the Five Disc, preventing confusion among consumers. Manufacturers are still enthusiastic, but we can imagine that enthusiasm will disappear if the logo turns out to be less good for their products, and threaten to get an unhealthy score more quickly. Why doesn't the Minister require manufacturers to put the logo on their products? And would it be an option to enter the Nutri score based on a percentage of too much sugar, salt or fat? A product that contains proportionally one of those three too much gets a red Nutri score." © December 12, 2019
