Nurses are asking the President to sign the law

Slovak Chamber of Nurses and Midwives is asking the President Ivan Gašparovič to sign the law, which will increase their salaries from April. If President wouldn’t sign the law, he contributed – according to the Chamber – to the degradation of the nurses and midwives. This appeal came in response to the statement of the Slovak Medical Union of Specialists, which appealed to President not to sign the increasing of salaries of nurses. The head of the Union argues that there are no resources for higher salaries and increasing of salaries can cause serious problems to the outpatient clinics.
