"After decentralizing hospitals, the Government has also approved decentralizing a significant amount of healthcare contributions. Practically, 60% of healthcare contributions paid by employers and individuals in one county goes to the health insurance house in the respective county. We're giving a significant part of healthcare contributions back to citizens," said Health Minister Attila Cseke at the end of the Cabinet meeting.

He added the remaining 40% would be used as administrative and capital expenses for the national health insurance house and local health insurance houses (3%) and for the payment of medical services in counties that don't have sufficient funding (37%).
