Vienna (OTS) – “Anyone who thinks that the Green Minister of Health Rauch, in view of the acute shortage of doctors and staff, is doing everything conceivable to protect the Austrian health system from major damage is far from it.” The liberal health spokesman and chairman commented of the parliamentary health committee NAbg. Mag. Gerhard Kaniak received a draft opinion from the minister, according to which the ministry and the federal states now pay at least 300 euros for the procedures for the recognition of training institutions and quality controls of training in the form of visitations, as well as up to 500 euros per hour for the “experts” provided by the federal states. demand from the practice owners during visitations for quality controls.

It should be noted that these procedures and quality controls have so far been free of charge. “This is scandalous and must be abolished immediately. It can’t be that the minister makes the training of young doctors in the teaching practices more difficult instead of making it easier. In principle, this means that all discussions about the shortage of doctors and staff are obsolete, because this minister can neither be trusted nor taken seriously. Rauch is exacerbating the situation in the shortage of doctors with intent and arbitrariness!” emphasized Kaniak.
