MoF will not give money to hospitals for now

Minister of Finance does not want to give hospitals money from the state budget reserve to cover the increase of salaries of doctors and nurses approved by the Parliament. According to MoF Minister of Health declared that he will cover the increasing of salaries within his  budget chapter. According to Ministry of Health, however, doctors will not see any money from state in January. MoH still relies on the fact that health insurance companies will save about € 100 million next year due the pharmaceutical reform and will redirect them to hospitals. Hospitals, however, do not know how to overcome this season.
