KDH Calls on Health Minister to Meet with All Parties Over Hospital Project

Bratislava, October 23 (TASR) - Opposition KDH called on the government to re-embrace the national hospital project and build the new hospital in Bratislava's Razsochy area as originally planned, TASR learnt on Wednesday. KDH urged the Health Minister to meet with representatives of all political parties for consultations across the political spectrum on the issue. The Christian Democrats pointed out that the unfeasibility of building the hospital in Ruzinov borough has been a common knowledge for a long time. "The construction [in Ruzinov] was supposed to begin from scratch, with only a small part of the project documentation taken from Razsochy. In addition, there have never been enough land plots to build the hospital in Ruzinov in the first place," stated KDH. Earlier in the day, Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estok and Education Minister Tomas Drucker (both Voice-SD) declared that they don't think the project of building a hospital in Ruzinov is feasible. mf/mcs
