Prime Minister Juha Sipilä on Saturday proposed the concept of establishing a new state-owned company to launch the social and health care (Sote) reform programmes. 
 
The new company could take care of the integration of the information systems, Sipilä, chair of Keskusta (Centre Party) told the party council in Jyväskylä.
 
“The integration process is a key part of the sote reforms, and it will cost a pretty big part of the three billion euro target,” Sipilä said.
 
The strategy of the government should be placed before parliament in mid-May. 
 
The prime minister also said that a possible common platform for the construction of various methods of integrating the sote information systems should be adopted by the government in May.
 
“The state-owned company would be able to create jobs, and then it could be changed [from state ownership] to provincial ownership,” Sipilä said.
 
According to Sipilä, development of the existing systems that are not compatible with the new platform should be frozen.
 
He said a uniform information system for sote could be ready by the beginning of 2019. Under the current plans, it would be completed 1-3 years later.
