Key points of the debate
The debate concerned the 2019 supplementary budget, which allocated additional appropriations for the supervision of care for older people, combating sexual offences and the capitalisation of rail transport project companies. The government parties considered the prompt additional investments and the launch of rail projects to be justified. The opposition, for its part, criticised the measures as insufficient and opposed the transfer of assets from the National Housing Fund to rail projects.
- Can assets of the National Housing Fund be used to capitalise rail transport project companies?
- Is increasing supervision enough to resolve the problems in care for older people without a statutory staffing ratio?
- Are the proposed additional appropriations for combating sexual offences and supporting victims sufficient?
- National Coalition PartyIn favour
The National Coalition Party supported the proposal and considered the additional investments in care supervision and the planning of high-speed rail connections highly necessary.
”Tässä lisätalousarviossa on paljon tärkeitä lisäyksiä muun muassa vanhustenhuollon valvontaan ja varhaiskasvatuksen valvontaan.”
— Sari Multala - Centre PartyIn favour
The Centre Party supported the supplementary budget, considering it important to react quickly regarding the supervision of care for older people and to establish and capitalise rail transport project companies.
”Hallitus esittää 82,6 miljoonaa euroa lisäpanostuksia, ja nämä lisäpanostukset käytetään vanhusten ja vammaisten palvelujen ohjauksen ja valvonnan vahvistamiseen”
— Timo Kalli - Blue ReformIn favour
Blue Reform considered strengthening supervision resources to be a good and prompt measure to guarantee the quality and safety of care for older people.
”Mitä tulee tähän lisäbudjettiin, niin on hienoa, että näin nopeasti voidaan valvontaan laittaa lisää resursseja, jotta vanhustenhoidon laadusta ja turvallisuudesta pidetään mahdollisimman hyvää huolta.”
— Simon Elo - Finns PartyIn favour with reservations
The Finns Party considered the additional resources for supervision and crime prevention to be in the right direction, but pointed out that care for older people required above all a statutory staffing ratio.
”On hyvä asia, että nyt on noussut esille valvonta liittyen vanhustenhoitoon, mutta yksinomaan se valvonta ei paranna vanhustenhoidon tilannetta.”
— Arja Juvonen - Social DemocratsAgainst
The Social Democrats opposed the use of National Housing Fund assets for a rail company and considered that the crisis in care for older people required establishing a binding staffing ratio in addition to supervision.
”Me tarvitsemme ihmisille kohtuuhintaisia koteja, me tarvitsemme rahaa lähiökotien korjaamiseen, me tarvitsemme homekorjauksiin ja hissirakentamiseen rahoja.”
— Pia Viitanen - GreensAgainst
The Greens considered it reprehensible to use National Housing Fund assets for purposes other than promoting affordable housing production, contrary to the previous will of Parliament.
”se, että Valtion asuntorahaston rahoja käytetään muun tarkoitukseen kuin kohtuuhintaisten asuntojen tarkoituksiin, on aidosti outo ja tuomittava ratkaisu.”
— Ozan Yanar - Left AllianceAgainst
The Left Alliance opposed channelling National Housing Fund assets into rail projects and considered the proposed additional resources for care and support for victims of sexual offences insufficient.
”Jos se on tuoreessa mietinnössään joulukuussa, nimenomaan pohdiskeltuaan ARAn periaatepäätöksiä ja aikaisempia linjauksia peilaten niitä tähän päivään, todennut, että ARAn rahat on käytettävä asumiseen”
— Kari Uotila - Swedish People's PartyIn favour with reservations
The Swedish People's Party considered the proposed additional investments in the supervision of care for older people and in police resources to be good, but called for even stronger measures and crisis centres to support victims of violence.
”Ruotsalaisen eduskuntaryhmän mukaan on hyvä, että hallituksen lisätalousarviossa on kiinnitetty erityistä huomiota vanhustenhuollon kehittämiseen ja seksuaalirikollisuuden kitkemiseen.”
— Mats Nylund - Christian DemocratsIn favour with reservations
The Christian Democrats welcomed the response to topical grievances, but considered the measures insufficient without a statutory staffing ratio and criticised the transfer of National Housing Fund assets.
”Tässä lisätalousarvioesityksessä tosiaan on monta erittäin hyvää puolta, ja tämä kiistely nyt tästä, miksi hallitus kaatui, vie vähän syrjään tästä.”
— Antero Laukkanen
