PM Ciolos: A public pay bill currently under consideration will rectify system discrepancies, with emphasis on healthcare
Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos said Tuesday that a public pay bill currently under consideration will rectify system discrepancies, with emphasis on healthcare.
"I am glad that after long talks with social partners we may come up with a draft piece of legislation that will rectify some discrepancies in the public pay system. (...) I asked Mr Labour Minister to look into the possibility for us, within the limits of the budgetary allocations, to put forth a complete approach for the healthcare system that will rectify public wages booth horizontally and vertically," Ciolos told a news conference at the Government House.
He added that other public fields are also important, not just healthcare, but the Ciolos Cabinet cannot solve all the problems facing the system.
He added that the public pay bill will not be approved the next day, but it will be put up for public debate.
"Under this draft ordinance no public wage will go down, as they will all go up," said Ciolos.
President Klaus Iohannis and Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos on Tuesday met to discuss principles underpinning a draft ordinance on public pay.
"The two officials, as well as other members of the Presidential Administration and the Government discussed priorities of the Government and their approach in the period immediately ahead. Special emphasis was placed on principles underpinning a draft ordinance on public pay," the Presidential Administration says in a press statement.
It adds that the ordinance rectifies discrepancies in the public sector pay.
