Question Mark Over Blue-Black Savings Package in the Health Sector

Both measures in the blue-black austerity package, which are included in the paper to Brussels but were not presented, concern the health sector and are endowed with a total of 320 million. While an explanation is given for each of the other savings items in the letter to Brussels - specifically to the responsible Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis - this is missing for the health measures.

Blue-Black Plans Savings in the Health Sector

There are only two headings here: one states that an adjustment of health insurance contributions is planned. This involves a total of 270 million euros. 50 million are listed as potential savings in another item. The negotiators write about closing gaps in the (presumably financial) coverage of health insurance. The Ministry of Finance said late in the afternoon in response to an APA inquiry that these items had indeed been discussed in Brussels. What measures would be taken is the subject of the negotiations.
