Increased salaries only for quarter of nurses
Private doctors will not close their clinics from April the 2nd, as they threatened. About three-quarters of nurses working for them, however, will not get increased salaries. Head of the Association of Private Doctors Ladislav Pásztor said that doctors do not have money for increasing of salaries of nurses. To increase their salaries, according to him, will not be possible in the clinics, which have less than 1 300 patients and paediatricians, who care for less than 900 children. According to Pásztor the outpatient doctors would need about € 300 million for increasing of salaries of nurses.
