The first reading of the parliamentary bill to amend the Law on Patients' Rights and Patients' Ombudsman and certain other laws has also been scheduled. It relates to the implementation of a new model for extrajudicial compensation of damages suffered by patients as a result of medical events.
MP Barbara Dziuk, meanwhile, will present the Health Committee's report on the government's draft law on certain medical professions.

A Health Committee report on the parliamentary bill on quality in health care and patient safety is also scheduled.
