At the government’s proposal, the Hungarian Medical Chamber adopted all the amendments to be dealt with at the legislative level at the legislative meeting of the parliamentary commission on Monday evening, Gergely Gulyás, head of the Prime Minister’s Office, told MTI.
Thus, the Legislative Committee finally unanimously – with the support of the government parties and all opposition parties, with 31 votes in favor, no votes against, he supported a health bill presented by the government on Monday morning, which includes an increase in medical salaries, the minister said.
According to this, it is only possible to deviate upwards from the established salary scale, by a maximum of 20 percent – said Gergely Gulyás.
Among other things, the Legislative Committee of Parliament approved changes to the proposal on the legal status of the health service on Monday evening. Ildikó Horváth, Secretary of State for Health, said the amendments, as well as the proposal, were initiated by the Hungarian Medical Chamber.
These also include financial incentives to carry out the professional examination, guarantees and legal clarifications, he said.
Also he said: It was also a request from the medical chamber that the salary increase be carried out in several stages, over several years, but that the withdrawal of the gratitude money be linked to a broader stage. This is the biggest step in the next year, he added. He stressed that the chamber had believed in the need to punish the use of gratitude money, which the board viewed as an undue advantage.
Bence Rétvári, Parliamentary Secretary of State for the Human Resources Ministry, reported that starting in 2023, a doctor with 40 years of experience could earn HUF 2,380,000 and the starting salary would increase to HUF 687,000.
The bill was presented to the House on Monday and MEPs are expected to vote on it on Tuesday in an exceptional procedure.
