Executive Summary
BVMed, the German medical devices industry association, has demanded more representation for its members on the federal committee for statutory health insurance physicians and sickness funds (Bundesausschuss Arzte und Krankenkassen) and the federal committee of hospitals (Bundesausschubeta Krankenhaus). The rights of BVMed to participate on the committee were recently recognised, but the association feels that this does not go far enough.
