The principle is that the nursing staff and caretakers are responsible for the continuation of the care plan. Medical and Paramedical team members determine the treatment and utilize it in their field of expertise. The nurses and caretakers carry out the treatment by providing continuous care.
Based on this principle an assessment is made of the probable needs for each department and the individual clients. Presently the White and Yellow Cross foundation is budgeted for the three departments in accordance with the percentages as mentioned in the figure below.

The two main financers of care the BZV and the Island Government finance the basic care costs, for other needs such as depreciation of equipment and maintaining of the buildings is generally financed through funding agencies. The foundation also strives for funding from private insurances and contributions e.g. for the district nursing care. By doing so hopefully future care products can be initialized, so far however that attempt has not led to any considerable income that could justify care product expansion.
The Board of the White Yellow Cross Foundation.
The foundation has over the years done a tremendous job of securing the necessary finances. A practically impossible job when it concerns Health Care since globally health care deficits are a major problem. The presidents efforts after more than 25 years have resulted in a Mall called the St. Rose Arcade which revenues are intended to secure the foundations care product.
Never the less all agree that the actual health care product cost must be financed by those who purchase the care Government, Health Insurances and AVBZ financing for the care of chronically ill.
When financing is a problem for the board responsible for an organization with such a diversity of products, elderly care, nursing home care, disabled care, district nursing and baby clinics, clients and staff problems are often inevitable.
Evaluations of care products, policies and procedures as well as new care products are the main concerns of the board meetings; the results of the board efforts are evident in the year report.
The Board members from left to right are Frans Mulder - President, Michel Soons - Vice President, Roland Duncan and Theo Jolles. Our secretary is Ruth Boyrard Brewster (no picture).
