Novotny: Resources for higher salaries are available

Money for increasing of salaries of healthcare professionals in Slovakia are available. Accroding to the former President of Health Comittee, Viliam Novotný, former Government has prepared the sources for covering the higher salaries of doctors and nurses. These money should, according to him, come from higher collection of health insurance, savings through pharmaceutical reform or from € 50 million reserve in state budget. Minister of Health, however, claims that former Government did not ensure any money for increasing of salaries.
