Civic Coalition MP Ma\u0142gorzata P\u0119pek faces potential disciplinary action after reports surfaced that she bypassed a two-year waiting list at a \u017bywiec hospital, receiving a medical exam in just three weeks.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, June 23, Portal Zero reported that Civic Coalition MP Ma\u0142gorzata P\u0119pek received medical diagnostics at a hospital in \u017bywiec this past February ahead of the regular queue. The MP secured the appointment just three weeks after booking, despite an average wait time exceeding 23 months.<\/p>\n
Government spokesperson Adam Sz\u0142apka addressed the matter during a Tuesday press conference, stating that the MP will appear before the Civic Coalition club board to provide explanations. He emphasized that he is not defending the situation and that the incident must be thoroughly investigated.<\/p>\n
Speaking earlier on Polsat News, Sz\u0142apka noted that P\u0119pek would need to explain the circumstances precisely and that consequences would follow depending on the outcome of the investigation.<\/p>\n
The \u017bywiec hospital determined that the MP had jumped the queue and did not bill the National Health Fund for the procedure. In a letter to P\u0119pek, the facility stated that only a doctor can expedite a procedure based on a patient\u2019s health status, which was not the case here.<\/p>\n
Portal Zero reported that P\u0119pek received notification from the hospital regarding her queue-jumping but chose to ignore it, arguing that as a taxpayer, she was entitled to the service. P\u0119pek claims she was registered by a hospital employee associated with her political party.<\/p>\n
Appearing on wPolsce24, P\u0119pek stated she did not demand or ask for any special treatment. She claimed that she was simply called to fill a vacant slot for a gastroscopy and suggested that the hospital should be thanking her for filling the gap. The hospital did not demand reimbursement but requested she avoid such privileges in the future.<\/p>\n
P\u0119pek dismissed the public interest in her medical procedure, calling the intense scrutiny an anecdote.<\/p>\n
