Bolojan and Rogobete clash over emergency department funding allocations

Interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan accused the Ministry of Health of allocating insufficient resources to emergency reception units, suggesting the shortfall might be due to flawed budgeting or an intentional move to request additional money later. Former health minister Alexandru Rogobete rejected these allegations, explaining that one outlet distribution relied on past execution data and the ceiling of the approved budget.

He pointed out that the health budget had been supplemented twice in the previous year, with the emergency unit at Floreasca Hospital receiving a higher total spend. Rogobete noted that the ministry had asked for a larger sum for the emergency component, but the parliament approved a lower figure, leaving a gap without an official justification. He suggested that efforts to reduce the fiscal deficit could be a factor, though no explicit reason was provided. Both politicians called for a more data-driven public debate on health financing.
