Dutch House seeks national hospital ban for aggressive patients

The Dutch House of Representatives sought a national system in which healthcare institutions could share a blacklist of people involved in serious aggressive incidents, with the aim of keeping them out of hospitals and other care facilities. Hospitals reportedly denied hundreds of people access last year after such incidents, but those individuals could still enter another facility.

The proposal would create a joint blacklist for healthcare institutions, according to the account.
