Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court dismissed the social board's attempt to include the principal amount of a long-term care patient's bank savings in the care fee calculation. The board argued that total assets should be considered, while the court held that only the interest generated by such savings constitutes income for fee purposes. Consequently, the court ruled that the board exceeded its statutory authority by examining the principal sum rather than just the accrued interest.

Sosiaalilautakunnalla ei ollut oikeutta lukea pitkäaikaisessa

laitoshoidossa olevan henkilön pankkitalletusta hoitomaksun

perusteena oleviin tuloihin. Hoitomaksua vahvistettaessa

voitiin ottaa huomioon ainoastaan tuon pankkitalletuksen

korko.
