Problem with pharmaceuticals for cancer patients

According to Minister of Health Ivan Uhliarik there is enough pharmaceuticals for patients with cancer in Slovakia. He reacted to the shortage of chemotherapeutic pharmaceuticals in hospital in Banská Bystrica, where on Wednesday instead of treatment patients were sent home. Minister wants the Healthcare Surveillance Authority to check the practice of both hospital and doctor, as he claims that according to available information the mistake was done by them. MoH knew about the shortage of pharmaceuticals already in December and should ensure their special import, but hospital in Banská Bystrica allegedly did not ask for it.
