Plan B to solve the situation in hospitals

Part of the so-called Plan B which should deal with the situation in hospitals affected by the notices of doctors after December the 1^st is also the set up of 24-hour hotline for patients. Patients should get to know, if their doctor is working, or if the operation was postponed for a few days. Plan B also deals about where the patients would be transferred if the particular hospital was unable to do some specific operations. The plan also describes how the operations centre will work and how the ambulances and air ambulance services will be directed in the case if some hospitals will have limited run of some departments. According to Minister of Health Ivan Uhliarik the Plan B also considers the future merging of some departments in larger cities.
