Doctor Appointment Problems
2024-01-24
15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, information briefing
Political Position
The most critical issue is the length of waiting lists for doctor appointments, which currently stretch to six months or more. The stance is sharply critical of the government's inaction, stressing that patients, particularly the elderly, risk dying while they wait. The political framework is results-oriented and crisis-focused, demanding an immediate action plan from the government. Furthermore, public health is directly linked to the question of national security.
