Oatney Introduces Hospital Bill
BRIESK - Peoples Representative Oatney introduced a bill today that dedicates a significant level of public monies to the funding of Morovia's public health system. Officially the Hospitals Act of 2007, the proposed legislation appropriates 1.5 billion morovs, or 5% of the national GDP, toward reopening the country's six regional hospitals. It also calls for the creation of a Royal Commission on Hospitals with oversight authority over Royal Hospital Trust operations.Noting that Glenn McCarter, Minister of Health and Safety, had failed to offer testimony before the Royal Assembly, Oatney told his colleagues, "I am compelled as Peoples Representative and Head of His Majesty's Government to take the initiative to deal with the crisis immediately as we promised Morovians that we would do."
Earlier this month, the Royal Hospital Trust announced the closure all six of its regional hospitals due to a lack of funding. The decision came after weeks of bad publicity, coupled with alarming reports that the rate of inpatient infections had increased and that the revelation that hospitals were failing their "primary mission."
