MPs call for ending competitive bidding system in child welfare institutions
MPs Remi Sølvberg and Hege Bae Nyholt have proposed that the government draw up a plan to phase out the competitive bidding system used in institutional child welfare services. The proposers argue that commercial operators fragment child welfare services, prioritize profit over the child's best interests, and that public funding should instead flow to public agencies or non-profit organizations.
