MoF: stopping the transformation would be irresponsible

Minister of Finance Ivan Mikloš considers the possible stoppage of transformation of hospitals into joint-stock companies for bad and irresponsible step. According to him, refusal of this change would lead to enormous indebtedness of health care system and public finance. The minister said, that transformation of hospitals is one of the most effective tools to reduce costs, inefficiency, waste and theft. Hospitals functioning as a subsidized organization have allegedly problem even to show the amount of their debt.
