Haarlem is assuming significant financial risk by providing a 100 million euro guarantee and committing to purchase the current hospital site for 25 million euros to keep the Spaarne Gasthuis in the city.

Local officials in Haarlemmermeer are critical of the decision, fearing that the loss of full-service care will negatively impact the region's rapidly growing population.
Spaarne Gasthuis plans to build a new hospital in Haarlem-Zuid by 2033 to consolidate clinical and emergency care services. Consequently, the Hoofddorp branch will be repurposed into a day hospital for outpatient treatments and diagnostic services.
Mayor Jos Wienen of Haarlem has ordered a three-month closure of a building on the Baan after an illegal, unlicensed sex club was discovered operating there.
