Notably, the map provides a snapshot of projects based on the current status of their implementation. It does not reflect the distribution of the projects funded by the Recovery and Resilience Facility across the different areas within the Netherlands. The map will be regularly updated to include additional projects and information. The showcase of the projects in this page is without prejudice to any future assessment by the Commission in the context of the verification of the satisfactory fulfilment of milestones and targets pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility. The measure references mentioned below are those contained in the Annex to the Council Implementing Decision approving the Dutch Recovery and Resilience Plan and allow for easy identification of the measures.

Increasing Intensive Care-capacity (reference 5.1I1/5.1I2 in the Dutch Recovery and Resilience Plan) With EUR 50,7 million financing from the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the Netherlands wants to strengthen the public health sector and pandemic preparedness of the Dutch healthcare system. To achieve this, several measures are being put in place. One of them is the extension of intensive care units of Dutch hospitals. This is accomplished by providing financial support for 54 hospitals to adapt their facilities. The adaptation is necessary to enable the increase of the number of fixed and flexible beds at the intensive care units. 67 hospitals are training their staff to reinforce the workforce of intensive and clinical care units. This investment and its implementation have been completed. Laptops and tablets for online and hybrid education to combat and mitigate learning losses (reference C4.2I4 in the Dutch Recovery and Resilience Plan) As a result of COVID-19, primary and secondary schools had to implement hybrid and distance learning. In order to support this and to prevent learning losses, a number of digital devices have been provided to schools, such as routers, laptops and tablets with financing of the Recovery and Resilience Facility of EUR 24 million. These devices are distributed by the schools to pupils whose parents lack the financial funds to purchase the devices necessary for following online lessons. In December 2020, schools were invited to hand in applications for receiving these digital devices. All applications have been awarded, and a total of 76,051 devices have been handed out to the participating schools. More information can be found on the website of the authority here:
