With over 33,000 people—including nearly 10,000 children—currently housed across more than 300 centers, transfers are rare and reserved for exceptional cases, such as proximity to specialist hospitals, private rooms, or accessible living conditions. The new service, set to launch in Q3 and potentially running for five years, will evaluate medical referrals to ensure fairness and proper care. Despite a drop in asylum applications from recent highs, around 260 applications still arrive weekly, making this move critical to managing system pressures and addressing public criticism of migration policy.
