Kmec: Health Minister Meeting Her Tasks in Terms of Recovery Plan

Bratislava, August 7 (TASR) - Health Minister Zuzana Dolinkova (Voice-SD) is fulfilling her tasks in terms of the recovery plan, said Vice-Premier for the Recovery Plan Peter Kmec (Voice-SD) on Wednesday. "We're on a very good way to getting quality health care to all regions of Slovakia," he stated, describing claims that the ministry isn't meeting its milestones and targets as the spreading of misinformation. Kmec pointed out that since the beginning he's been working closely with the health minister in meeting milestones and in implementing individual calls. "I've personally travelled with the minister across Slovakia, where we've checked the state of readiness of individual projects, and I can say that there are, of course, partial problems that are being addressed, but we're on a very good way to successfully dealing with the money allocated for the Health Ministry," he assured. The opposition Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) party has criticised the minister for the delay in implementing recovery plan milestones. Millions from the recovery plan intended for Slovakia are therefore at risk, said the party. SaS sees this as one of the reasons why the minister should be dismissed from her post. The health minister has stated that there's no doubt that the ministry is meeting the milestones, while describing the SaS statements as false information. am/df
