- "Article 21 concerning the KPO clearly states: the KPO can be amended or even entirely replaced if objective circumstances arise, and any member state can request such a change. They had almost 2 years not only to change the KPO but to replace it according to their own vision of how these funds should be spent. So, if they were implementing any of the previously programmed tools and programs, it was their conscious choice," stated Waldemar Buda at a press briefing.

- "Could the money allocated for yachts have been redirected to healthcare, to CT scanners in hospitals? It could have been, and more importantly, it should have been. The KPO's decisions regarding healthcare led to a situation where out of 259 applications for highly specialized care, only 102 were positively recommended, assessed, and received funding. Less than half. However, 96 out of 259 applications were positively reviewed but did not receive recommendations due to a lack of funds," he continued.

As the former minister said: - "So, we have nearly a hundred good, ready applications that did not receive funding because the money ran out. It would have been very simple to redirect it to hospitals. And today, a clear question arises: do we want to spend money on yachts, effectively on private assets, or do we want to finance healthcare and, for example, shorten the waiting times for endoscopy, for diagnostics, cancer treatment, or cancer diagnostics?"

- "Today, our proposal is simple – give back the yachts, we'll buy the CT scanners. We are annulling the entire competition, they return and sell the yachts, and we buy those CT scanners, behind which hospitals are queuing, which have prepared applications, positively assessed but negatively recommended due to a lack of funds," Buda emphasized.
