Doctors' salaries in the Senate. Will "Lex K." end up in the trash?

The Polish Parliament approved a reform package addressing irregularities in public hospitals, particularly regarding high salaries and work time reporting. New regulations impose limits on working hours and salaries for medical professionals, requiring at least half-time employment. Controversies arose over the potential impact on hospital staffing and the risk of specialists moving to the private sector. Senators proposed nine amendments to ease the regulations, including reducing the minimum work requirement and removing certain provisions deemed problematic. The Senate will review these amendments, with discussions focusing on the implications for healthcare professionals and the legality of proposed sanctions against dishonest practices.
