Civic Coalition MP Ma\u0142gorzata P\u0119pek faces criticism after bypassing a 23-month waiting list for a gastroscopy at a hospital in \u017bywiec, subsequently suggesting the facility should thank her for filling the vacancy.<\/p>\n
Portal Zero reported on Tuesday, June 23, that Civic Coalition (KO) MP Ma\u0142gorzata P\u0119pek accessed medical diagnostics at a hospital in \u017bywiec this past February ahead of the standard queue. The average wait time for such procedures at the facility exceeds 23 months, yet the MP secured an appointment only three weeks after scheduling.<\/p>\n
Government spokesperson Adam Sz\u0142apka addressed the matter during a press conference, confirming that P\u0119pek will provide explanations to the KO parliamentary club. Sz\u0142apka stated he does not defend such actions, emphasizing that the situation requires thorough clarification and potential consequences.<\/p>\n
Hospital administration determined that P\u0119pek bypassed the queue without medical justification, as only a physician may expedite appointments based on patient health status. Consequently, the hospital did not bill the National Health Fund (NFZ) for the procedure and requested the MP refrain from seeking similar privileges in the future.<\/p>\n
P\u0119pek maintains that she did not request special treatment, claiming she was simply notified of a cancellation. She argued that because she pays social contributions, she is entitled to the care, and suggested the hospital should be grateful she utilized the empty slot.<\/p>\n
Internal sources at the hospital suggest that after receiving the institution’s letter regarding the unauthorized procedure, P\u0119pek began filing a series of aggressive inquiries. This marked a notable shift from her previous public support for the facility\u2019s management and her earlier appeals for additional funding.<\/p>\n
Following the dispute, the MP submitted interpellations to the Minister of Health questioning the hospital’s management practices and the transparency of its financial accounts. The facility views this sudden scrutiny as an act of retaliation for their initial notice of the abuse.<\/p>\n
