LPR wants former Health Minister to stand trial for his mistakes

Łapiński announced that he has made no mistakes which led to the current crisis in the health care system. LPR leader, Roman Giertych, stated during a press conference, that Łapiński should stand before the State Tribunal and be held responsible for the consequences of the National Health Fund (NFZ) bill. "The public were cheated. They pay contributions, but are not re ceiving any health care," announced Giertych, adding that the health system formed by Łapiński was doomed to failure from the beginning. Law and Justice (PiS) does not exclude the decision to support the request. The head of the PiS Parliamentary Club, Ludwik Dorn, said that firstly he has to acknowledge the justifications of the request, but "when I look at what is going on with our health system, there is no punishment which Łapiński should not face." In response to these accusations, the former health minister said that the NFZ bill was accepted by Parliament, and was signed by the President, and it went into effect after he was laid off from his post early last year.
