MoH does not have money to increase the salaries

According to the internet edition of daily Hospodárske noviny Minister of Health Ivan Uhliarik does not have resources to increase the salaries by more than € 300, though he claims the opposite. Hospitals will allegedly save the resources, as from next year they start   central procurement. According to former minister Richard Raši increasing of salaries is not covered: if it should happen by December 1^st, it cannot be covered by savings from administering, which should start later on. The first step to increase the salaries should have been, according to Všeobecná zdravotná poisťovňa, also the finances, that insurance company sent to hospitals. According to the President of Association of Hospitals of Slovakia, Marián Petko, money from public insurance company will not be enough, as for example Hospital in Bardejov would need approximately 10 times more.
