From today, new obligations for hospitals. In some cases, spending on salaries is even 106% of the budget.

The Polish Ministry of Health plans to introduce three new quality indicators to monitor personnel expenditure in medical facilities. This initiative follows concerns about high salary costs, which in some cases exceed 100% of budgets. The new parameters aim to analyze the proportion of revenue spent on staff salaries, compare employment forms, and assess spending distribution between medical and non-medical personnel. Additionally, the 'PESEL Act' aims to identify salary disparities and multiple job holdings among healthcare workers by linking salary data to their PESEL numbers. Hospitals must submit this data by November 30, 2026, with a presentation of findings scheduled for January 2027.
