Tension escalates between the Greek government and PASOK regarding amendments related to health care workers’ hazardous jobs and afternoon surgeries. PASOK’s decision to vote ‘present’ on the amendments received backlash from government officials, particularly from Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis. Critics argue the proposed changes could lead to significant staff departures in the health system. While PASOK asserts their amendments incur no fiscal cost, government representatives refute this claim, emphasizing the need for more personnel in public health. The debate reflects broader issues of health policy and funding in Greece.
