Draft-Law to Abolish Position of Economic Directors Passes 1st Filter in Parliament

Both ruling majority and opposition MPs have supported the draft-law to annul the position of economic directors at clinics.

With 82 votes in favour and zero against, the draft-changes passed the first parliamentary filter. Health Minister Arben Taravari said the concept had failed to produce expected results.

VMRO-DPMNE’s stand is that the money that will be saved on the basis of salaries can be used to reconstruct health homes or build new ones. SDSM MP Dimitar Kovacevski said among the problems with the concept was that there was dualism with regards to decision-making.
