Fund Freeze In Hungary Not To Impact Health Spending, Says Official
The government’s recent decision to freeze 110 billion forints in central budget spending will not impact Hungary’s health care, the state secretary in charge of health announced on Thursday.

Gábor Zombor said that health care providers will not only be unaffected by the fund freeze, but will be eligible for extra subsidies from reserves of national health insurance to pay off arrears and improve operations.

The economy minister announced the planned fund freeze last week as a precautionary measure to ensure that Hungary’s deficit target of 2.9% of GDP for 2014 is met.
