The paramedics met with the leadership of the Health Ministry. They presented their demands

The meeting, on behalf of the Health Ministry, was attended by Deputy Ministers Urszula Demkow and Wojciech Konieczny, as well as directors of four departments. However, the head of the ministry was missing. They held talks with representatives of 11 trade unions and societies that organize and represent the interests of paramedics. The organizations submitted 10 demands:

1. Introducing a statutory obligation to pay a 30% allowance for work in the State Emergency Medical Service system (i.e., medical dispatch and ED/IP) and an allowance for work at night, Sunday and holidays (65/45% with compensation as of July 01, 2023,

3. Amendments to the Law of December 1, 2022 on the profession of paramedic and the paramedics' self-government with regard to the addition of transitional provisions related to the assumption of the implementation of tasks by the future paramedics' self-government when it is constituted and the self-government bodies gain the capacity to implement statutory tasks,

Amendments to the Regulation of the Minister of Health of July 10, 2023 on the qualifications required of employees in specific types of positions in non-business medical entities with regard to including the profession of paramedic in the position of "head of the organizational unit of a medical institution" and "deputy head of the organizational unit of a medical institution."
10. Begin the process of amending the Law on State Emergency Medical Services (including starting the process of organizing dispatchers of medical rescue teams based on a unified structure and organization (provincial medical rescue stations)).

The ministry's leadership addressed the demands, but according to the ratepayers, there was a lack of specifics as to when the demands made would be implemented. The organizations therefore requested another meeting with the ministry in three weeks.
