Tervisekassa wants a new office.
The current office is too large. It has water problems.
The office is located near the military. This is not safe.
In 2022, they started looking for a new place. It needs to be ready by 2024. They looked at buildings in the city center. It needs to have a shelter and a good energy class.
They considered the Arteri Quarter, Golden Gate, and the Forum Center. Golden Gate is more expensive than the Arteri Quarter.
In the Forum Center, space was available in 2023. However, it lacked a good energy class.
They also considered the Avala Quarter and the buildings on Maakri and Ahtri streets. These were not available at the right time.
Banhard said that the Tervisekassa council did not choose the Arteri Quarter. The board made the decision.
Banhard said that Tervisekassa needs to compete with the private sector. They need to offer a good working environment but will not raise salaries.
Tervisekassa's spending has received a lot of attention. They organized an expensive summer day at Taagepera Castle.
Tervisekassa's CEO Rain Laane resigned on August 22. Social Minister Karmen Joller said that the council will accept this.
