Parliamentary Health Committee approved higher wages

Members of the Parliamentary Health Committee approved, despite the criticism of trade unionist, the Act on remuneration of nurses. On the next meeting of Parliament members of Parliament will decide on the act in the second reading. According to the President of the Association of Private Doctors, however, its approval may lead to the end of general outpatient care. He claims that outpatient clinics with one doctor and one nurse will have excessively high labour costs and there will remain no money for the operation of the clinics. Doctors allegedly do not doubt the demands of nurses, but they are asking the state to guarantee the increasing of their income.
