Leszczyna:

I'm Retracting My Statement That Eliminating Limits Will Shorten Doctor Waiting Lines

- My predecessors abolished limits in outpatient specialist care. [...] We pay several billion more each year specifically to such specialist clinics. Have the queues for any specialist decreased? No - said Izabela Leszczyna on Radio Zet. - This means that eliminating limits cannot be a simple end in itself, but rather a means to an end, and the goal is greater accessibility, shorter queues - she continued. - I am not retracting the commitment that we must shorten queues and must therefore increase accessibility. I am retracting, in a sense, the idea that eliminating limits is the means capable of achieving this, because I have the example in outpatient care that it does not work - she went on to say.
