Health minister: No more cuts in health sector, with troika agreement

“We came to full agreement,” Georgiadis said. “The issue is that there can be no more budget cuts in health, as we agreed that we had reached the lowest possible limit. I think we inaugurated a good collaboration to move quickly to reforms,” he added.

Discussion on prior actions went very well, he said, with no pending issues.

Asked what he planned to do with the fiscal gap in the national health system (EOPYY), Georgiadis said, “The measure is known, we have announced it. For now, we will have a ‘claw back’, but we are moving to its restructure the soonest possible, so that it may operate on private business criteria and we may do away with uncontrolled expenditures. It is important to respect the Greek people’s money to the last euro.”
