Revamping of health service law delegated to three committees

The first team was created by Health Minister Leszek Sikorski. "First of all, we want to work out the rules, on the basis of which we can create the new health system," said the head of this team prof. Cezary Włodarczyk of the Public Health Institute. Sikorski said yesterday that he would like the set of laws regulating the health system to be formed in two stages. First, the least controversial issues should be solved, and those which adjust national policies to EU requirements. Second, the remaining set of laws would be settled, which would form the basis for new legislation. The second team will comprise of Members of Parliament from all parties, while the third one, which was announced yesterday, will be formed and run by prof. Zbigniew Religa. (Rzeczpospolita, p.
