Näe ry emphasizes in its statement that the supervision of social and healthcare services must be proportionate, predictable, and risk-based. In particular, the Soteri registration should be developed in such a way that the registration process and related processing times do not become a de facto restriction on the right to conduct business, which is protected as a fundamental right, or on the continuation of already established, low-risk service provision.
The current procedure treats different types of service providers in the same way and leads to administrative delays. Näe ry proposes lighter procedures for existing service provision, clear deadlines for registration, and functional transitional provisions to ensure that supervision genuinely supports client and patient safety as well as the availability of vision and eye health services throughout the country.
