Constitutional Court of Slovak Republic will have to deal with the emergency posts. Court will consider the constitutionality of certain provisions of the Act on Health Care Providers. Specifically, it will focus on the obligation of General Practitioner (for adults, and for children and adolescents) and Dentists to perform First Aid according to the schedule specified by self-governing region and the possibility of imposing penalties for breaching of this obligation up to € 3 319. System of emergency posts operation was in the past criticized by the Association of Private Doctors whose President welcomed the initiation of the proceeding. Ministry of Health under the leadership of Richard Raši also tried to solve this problem by approving of the change of financing.
