**Interview with Velimirca Dumitru – Personal Care Provider**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Velimirca. With the press conference tomorrow focusing on 24-hour care, what do you think are the main concerns regarding this system in Austria, particularly from Styrian state and federal politicians?
**Velimirca Dumitru:** Thank you for having me. One of the primary concerns is the perception that 24-hour care is a small-scale solution for long-term care needs. Many politicians may not fully understand the significant impact it has on families and the quality of care provided to recipients.
**Interviewer:** That’s a crucial point. With various stakeholders like placement agencies and relatives involved, how can their voices be better integrated into policy discussions?
**Velimirca Dumitru:** It’s essential for policymakers to engage directly with all parties involved—care providers, families, and experts. By fostering open dialogue and sharing real experiences, we can highlight the importance and necessity of 24-hour care in our system.
**Interviewer:** As we await insights from tomorrow’s conference, do you believe there’s a risk that the voices of those needing care are drowned out in political discussions?
**Velimirca Dumitru:** Absolutely. The voices of care recipients and their families are often overlooked in broader political discourse, which tends to focus on statistics rather than personal stories. This is where we need to create a debate about the importance of considering real-life experiences in policy-making.
**Interviewer:** Let’s invite our readers into this discussion. Do you think it’s time that the lived experiences of families and care providers were prioritized in shaping Austria’s long-term care policy? How do you believe this can influence future legislative decisions?
