- Yesterday, a bill on financing the IVF procedure was being processed in the Sejm. We were not able to send it back to committee, because a motion was made to reject the project, which we must vote on. If it is dismissed, the bill will go to the Sejm Health Committee after the first reading, so that it can probably be voted on at the next session," said Sejm Speaker Szymon Holownia at Thursday's press conference.
The matters of electing a Children's Ombudsman and a member of the so-called Anti-Pedophilia Committee will be processed on Tuesday. Wednesday, meanwhile, will see the first reading of the second of the citizens' bills from the parliamentary freezer. It concerns raises for nurses.
- The draft generally introduces what is long overdue. It is about increases related to the real qualifications of those working in health care, not those assigned as required for a given position. This bill stipulates that with the acquisition of more qualifications, nurses and representatives of other health professions will not have to wait until the next year for a salary update, but will receive it as soon as they obtain those qualifications. This is fair and should be so," assessed Szymon Holownia.
