Health Minister Milojka Kolar Celarc survives a no confidence vote after almost 15 hours of debate in which privatisation was a key issue. She hit back, accusing the opposition of doing the work of lobbies and vested interests in the health sector.
"Slovenia decided in elections that public healthcare is at the core of health services in the country," Celarc said, adding that she would insist on Slovenia having a just system based on a universal basket of services accessible to all. “The opposition United Left (ZL) announced they would not back the dismissal motion and accused the entire coalition as well as the opposition SDS and New Slovenia (NSi) of working for lobbies that favour privatisation of healthcare.”
