Excessive bonus payments to public doctors identified
September 16, 2024
Public doctors are receiving overtime and bonuses that are sometimes more than three times their salaries. For example, an assistant clinic director with a salary of €76,379 received an additional €230,099 in 2022. The Audit Office recommends reevaluating the bonus system to tie it to productivity. The proposals include assessing the criteria used for doctors in the private sector who are contracted with the national health system (GeSY).
