The Stichting Regionale Gezondheidsdienst (RGD) has not yet received the financial resources for payment of the bridging allowance (OBT) for the fourth quarter of 2026. As a result, the allowance cannot yet be paid to staff.
It emerges from a letter dated Thursday, 12 November 2026, in which RGD director Jenny Christopher informs the Bond Personeel Regionale Gezondheidsdienst (BPRGD) about the status of the payment.
According to the management, the foundation has to date received no funds from the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Labour for payment of the bridging allowance for the months of October, November and December 2026.
In the letter, the RGD asks for understanding regarding the situation that has arisen. The management says it will provide further information to the staff union as soon as the necessary financial resources have been made available by the ministry.
The letter is addressed to BPRGD chairman Ronaldo Herkul and was also sent to the foundation’s board for its information.
It remains unclear when the ministry will transfer the funds and when RGD staff can expect the bridging allowance. No specific payment date is mentioned in the letter.
