DK sees 'national health crisis'

The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) has demanded that the government should declare "a state of national health care crisis" and that large amounts should be reallocated in the central budget to benefit the sector. DK lawmaker Imre Laszlo quoted press reports suggesting a state of emergency at a Budapest hospital due to a lack of specialists, and insisted that "in other countries ministers or governments would step down in the wake of such developments" while in Hungary "such cases have become an everyday routine".
