The Ministry of Health is open to a new request from the Medical Trade Union Association (LOZ) to sign a binding agreement. Experts with such a request came this week. Today, via the media, they have stated that the deduction provided is not enough, they are asking for a different form - namely a memorandum from the government. The Health Department will provide maximum synergies on this matter. According to the Minister, these are health solutions in crisis today, not the form of a document.
The Ministry of Health is surprised by the claims of the medical union representative regarding the lack of interest in the management of the resort about doctors. In recent days the Minister of Health and State Secretary personally visited health professionals in Prešov, Košice, Bratislava. They have met with their fellow health professionals before and will continue.
More serious is the claim that the Ministry is doing nothing but waiting for the number of statements. That's extremely false information. The Ministry negotiates not only with doctors but also with representatives of other health professions. Only on this basis has it been possible to prepare a comprehensive increase in the salaries of all health professionals, which is currently in the national council, said Vladimir Lengvarsky, Minister of Health.
The resort notes, however, that it also addresses a much wider range of problems that choke Slovak health. With only part of them pointed out Loz. Among other things, it is launching the necessary investment in health care. Only today the resort has announced a targeted incentive scheme to create 170 new clinics of general medicine. The Ministry took responsibility for the implementation of the DRG system and intensively addresses the fairer adjustment of health levies.
A major amendment introducing new rules on the use of health contributions for the benefit of patients and care providers was approved by the government on Wednesday this week. Vladimir Lengvarsky continues.
The Ministry of Health is open to a new request from the Medical Trade Union Association for a written commitment to a plan of solutions. Although the request came only this Monday, the Ministry provided the next day and published a binding deduction of the steps with specific implementation dates. Today, after two days, the resort has learned through the media that in this form the commitment to the LOC is not sufficient and another form is needed.
The Ministry will be as effective as possible in preparing the Memorandum. We believe that his fate will be different from that of the 2011 Memorandum. Our aim is not to solve the form, but to promote content - solutions,closed Vladimir Lengvarsky.
