A county councilor from the PiS party, who also serves as director of the hospital in Tomaszów Lubelski, reported an income of 864,000 złoty from his work at the facility, according to “Gazeta Wyborcza.” This revelation comes as the hospital faces significant financial losses, reportedly amounting to millions. The hospital director has publicly criticized salary increases for medical professionals. When questioned, the county head (starosta) explained the director’s high earnings by stating that anesthesiologists receive higher pay. The situation highlights a potential disparity in income within the hospital, with the director earning a significantly larger amount despite the institution’s financial struggles. This has raised questions about financial management and compensation practices at the hospital. The report suggests a conflict between the director’s criticism of pay raises and his own substantial earnings.
