Obstetrics; application for funding to support, strengthen and secure midwifery care

Purpose

Hospitals are finding it increasingly difficult to recruit and retain midwives and maternity nurses for obstetric work in the delivery room. This also applies to postpartum care. The purpose of the assignment is to support, strengthen and secure the supply of midwives in obstetrics and postnatal care.

Object

Funding is provided for measures and projects that strengthen and safeguard midwifery care in obstetrics and postnatal care by midwives and maternity nurses.

Recipients of funding

Recipients of funding are the districts and cities in the Free State of Bavaria that are responsible for providing inpatient care and midwifery assistance.

Eligible costs

Personnel and material expenses incurred in connection with the funded project are eligible for funding.

Type and amount

The maximum amount of the grant is based on the number of births in hospitals in the area of the administrative district or independent city in the year prior to the approval period multiplied by a factor of 40.

The grant is awarded on condition that the purpose of the funding is complied with and that the European state aid regulations and its de minimis regulations are observed.

The funding measure may only begin once the government of Upper Franconia has confirmed that the application documents have been received in full.

The Government of Upper Franconia may allow the funding to be passed on to third parties in the approval notice.

The application must be submitted to the Government of Upper Franconia in writing or by e-mail.

The Government of Upper Franconia will decide on the application and issue a provisional grant notification.

At the end of the approval period specified in the notification, the applicant must submit proof of use within six months.

The proof of use will be checked by the government of Upper Franconia. A final decision is then issued with the final grant amount.

Once the decision has become legally binding, the grant amount will be paid out.
