00:00:05.389 --> 00:00:08.973
Hello. Because we want
to continue the dialogue,

00:00:09.093 --> 00:00:11.699
the PM Robert Golob

00:00:11.819 --> 00:00:16.726
met with representatives
of economic organizations today.

00:00:17.174 --> 00:00:20.825
The main issue was
the Act on necessary measures

00:00:20.945 --> 00:00:26.441
in healthcare, therefore, I give
the floor to the Minister of Health

00:00:26.724 --> 00:00:33.444
Valentina Prevolnik Rupel.
Then, Mr. Mitja Gorenšček

00:00:33.564 --> 00:00:38.326
from the Chamber of Commerce
will say a few words.

00:00:40.032 --> 00:00:44.605
Thank you.
Today, we met with employers.

00:00:44.725 --> 00:00:48.904
It was our first meeting.
It was very constructive.

00:00:49.242 --> 00:00:55.512
We talked about the Act
on necessary measures in healthcare.

00:00:56.062 --> 00:00:57.929
We focused on the articles

00:00:58.049 --> 00:01:03.626
about absenteeism from work.

00:01:04.355 --> 00:01:10.038
Both sides presented their views.
We agreed

00:01:10.158 --> 00:01:15.225
on some solutions and we will talk
about others later this week

00:01:15.345 --> 00:01:21.982
when we will meet again
and correct some data

00:01:22.102 --> 00:01:27.359
which are needed
for the arguments from both sides.

00:01:27.893 --> 00:01:29.546
This is all. Thank you.

00:01:38.174 --> 00:01:43.230
We were glad to respond
to the PM's invitation

00:01:43.350 --> 00:01:47.810
from the economy summit
last week.

00:01:47.930 --> 00:01:51.988
He proposed monthly meetings

00:01:52.295 --> 00:01:56.779
where we would agree
on law changes.

00:01:56.899 --> 00:02:02.582
Our condition was
three acute problems,

00:02:02.702 --> 00:02:08.199
three laws that should be passed
by the end of the year.

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.705
On of them is about intervention
measures in healthcare.

00:02:13.825 --> 00:02:17.621
This was
the main topic today.

00:02:17.741 --> 00:02:23.330
We talked about everything
that bothers us.

00:02:23.451 --> 00:02:30.421
We found answers and solutions
to a lot of questions,

00:02:30.541 --> 00:02:34.888
but not to the most important ones.
We agreed

00:02:35.008 --> 00:02:39.459
to find additional arguments
based on numbers,

00:02:39.945 --> 00:02:43.285
compare the data
from both sides

00:02:43.405 --> 00:02:48.492
in the next days
and make decisions based on them.

00:02:49.033 --> 00:02:54.692
Thank you. Any questions? Introduce
yourself and ask the question.

00:02:55.289 --> 00:02:59.456
Marko Gregorc, Pop TV.
There were no concrete agreements.

00:02:59.844 --> 00:03:02.929
Are you happy with the
outcome of the meeting?

00:03:03.303 --> 00:03:07.514
Some positive solutions
have been found

00:03:07.635 --> 00:03:10.550
as I have already said
in the introduction.

00:03:10.671 --> 00:03:12.708
We still haven't found
the answers

00:03:12.829 --> 00:03:15.593
to the issues
that weigh on us the most,

00:03:15.714 --> 00:03:17.977
the matter has not yet
been concluded.

00:03:18.098 --> 00:03:22.508
The Finance Committee
will consider the act next Monday,

00:03:22.629 --> 00:03:26.598
there are still a few days
to find solutions

00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:30.544
even for those problems
that hurt us the most.

00:03:30.665 --> 00:03:33.894
The main problem for us
is the additional burden

00:03:34.015 --> 00:03:36.592
we've been addressing
this whole time.

00:03:36.713 --> 00:03:41.109
The open clauses
that remain for the following days

00:03:41.230 --> 00:03:45.915
are about the burden on the economy
from sick pays.

00:03:46.036 --> 00:03:50.186
Do you feel the Government
is willing to take a step closer?

00:03:50.307 --> 00:03:55.911
The most positive thing is
that nothing that bothers us

00:03:56.032 --> 00:03:58.707
has been
concluded negatively.

00:03:58.828 --> 00:04:02.505
Everything that bothers us
was either resolved

00:04:02.626 --> 00:04:05.178
or it will be
in the next few days.

00:04:05.299 --> 00:04:10.157
So a positive message. Any more
questions? Go ahead, Kaja Kobetič.

00:04:10.278 --> 00:04:12.201
Kaja Kobetič, Kanal A.

00:04:12.322 --> 00:04:18.993
I'd like a little more information
on the solutions you have reached

00:04:19.114 --> 00:04:22.807
and, for example,
regarding sick pay,

00:04:22.928 --> 00:04:25.905
what kind of answers
you got from the Government.

00:04:26.026 --> 00:04:31.784
Will there be a middle way,
what are the next steps?

00:04:31.905 --> 00:04:36.097
We disputed three contents.

00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:40.985
The main one is the increase of sick
pay to the burden of the economy

00:04:41.106 --> 00:04:42.794
from 20 to 30.

00:04:42.915 --> 00:04:46.977
The Ministry of Health
has some data

00:04:47.098 --> 00:04:49.684
that we haven't seen yet.

00:04:49.911 --> 00:04:55.069
We have our data.
We've agreed to compare this data

00:04:55.190 --> 00:05:01.894
in the next few days to see
solutions from other countries.

00:05:02.015 --> 00:05:06.244
Based on this we will decide
whether it is really necessary

00:05:06.365 --> 00:05:11.605
that this article be changed
already in the intervention act.

00:05:11.726 --> 00:05:17.971
We suggest communicating
all changes in January

00:05:18.092 --> 00:05:23.713
when we will have systematic regular
meetings with the Government,

00:05:23.834 --> 00:05:26.325
where we will speak
about all burdens,

00:05:26.446 --> 00:05:28.807
that means
taxes and contributions.

00:05:28.928 --> 00:05:33.098
Minister, anything to add?
-A question for the Minister.

00:05:33.219 --> 00:05:37.240
Yes, and then we'll finish.
Go ahead, last question.

00:05:37.361 --> 00:05:40.002
I am interested in a comment
on this dispute

00:05:40.123 --> 00:05:44.898
between the Faculty of Medicine
and the University Medical Centre.

00:05:45.019 --> 00:05:47.415
No response?
-Today,

00:05:47.536 --> 00:05:51.944
we're talking about the meeting
with the economy representatives.

00:05:52.065 --> 00:05:55.658
No one else? I would like to thank
the representatives of the media

00:05:55.779 --> 00:05:59.533
and both speakers.
Have a nice day. Thank you.
