Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill adds a restriction to the Employment Service Law stating that an applicant for a permit to place foreign workers in nursing care cannot be an interested party in, or connected to, anyone who provides nursing care services through foreign workers. This provision also applies in reverse: a nursing care provider cannot be an interested party in a placement agency. The aim is to ensure separation between job placement agencies and nursing care companies, and thereby increase competition in the home nursing care sector.
