The minister said many hospitals have a disproportionate number of managers compared to their size. "In a hospital with less than 400 beds, there can be six managers, and in one with more than 400 - ten managers and I mean Human Resources, IT and administrative managers. There are too many such positions and staff expenses are too high," Minister Cseke said.

In the minister's opinion, a hospital should have a general manager, a finance-accounting director, a medical director, a research-development director and, if it has a lot of beds, a nursing director.
