Following a 1.7 million PLN earnings scandal involving a local councilor, Warsaw Mayor Rafa\u0142 Trzaskowski has announced the appointment of a new supervisory board for the Southern Hospital.<\/p>\n
Mayor Rafa\u0142 Trzaskowski addressed irregularities at the Warsaw Southern Hospital following reports regarding Dawid Kacprzyk, a 28-year-old KO councilor and doctor. Despite having no specialized experience, Kacprzyk earned 1.7 million PLN last year, including 1.6 million PLN as a coordinator at the hospital’s emergency department.<\/p>\n
Trzaskowski announced the formation of a new supervisory board for the hospital, though specific appointees remain undisclosed. He confirmed the new body will consist of city officials and healthcare specialists.<\/p>\n
The mayor also promised broader changes to municipal medical companies by June, emphasizing that politicians will be removed from these boards to eliminate any suspicion of political influence in hospital management. He stressed that while they are not defending specific individuals, they are prioritizing standards and will act on any findings from audits.<\/p>\n
Trzaskowski compared the Kacprzyk case to the satirical character Nikodem Dyzma, suggesting the councilor’s career was built on deception and influence-peddling. The mayor noted that while procedures for whistleblowers exist, no reports regarding the Southern Hospital reached the city hall, and previous provincial inspections found no irregularities.<\/p>\n
He denied personal involvement with Kacprzyk, clarifying that he has only met him professionally. He noted that he has used the hospital’s emergency room only once, over two years ago, before Kacprzyk held his position.<\/p>\n
The hospital’s previous management board was dismissed following the scandal, and Kacprzyk has since resigned from KO and repaid 500,000 PLN after correcting his invoices. Trzaskowski cited the need for these corrections as proof that the hospital’s internal control systems had failed.<\/p>\n
Separately, the Sejm passed a new law on Friday requiring medical earnings to be linked to personal identification numbers or professional license numbers. The bill passed with 253 votes in favor and none against, with 177 abstentions.<\/p>\n
