Working conditions must be improved – can only be a first step

Vienna (OTS) – “The staff who work in the hospitals every day must finally receive the support they deserve. In any case, the package presented today can only be a first step. There is still a lot to do here,” said the health spokeswoman for the Vienna People’s Party, local councilor Ingrid Korosec, at today’s press conference.

In any case, these improvements in monetary terms are not everything. Above all, working conditions must be improved in order to relieve the burden on the staff in the Vienna Health Association and also to prevent burnout and resignation. “In any case, the package presented today cannot replace profound reforms and measures within the Vienna Health Association,” continued Korosec. In any case, the opposition must be involved, especially in the second part of the phase mentioned today – in which questions about the future are to be discussed without taboos.

Vienna is facing major challenges

Ultimately, there must be substantial improvements for both staff and patients. “There are major challenges in the health sector, especially in Vienna. Our hand is therefore outstretched to find a constructive and cross-party solution. The city government is called upon to take this up too,” concluded Korosec.
