Paphos General Hospital today

What does not help matters either is they go for a coffee break about 10 am,no matter how many people are waiting(forty mins when I was there last week).Darrow,this is where your dermatologist "disappeared" to!
Shame really because the system was pretty good.

Everyone needs a break, just getting a coffee or going to the loo?

[tonee]

Forty minutes to an hour?Are you for real?Do they all go to the loo together then?

I expect that after the significant cut in pay a few years ago some Dr's and other staff have left to go private or work abroad.
At the time of the pay cuts I remember some people complaining about how they had to pay a few Euros to see a Dr at the general and pay for prescriptions. Now the chickens have come home to roost and it looks like the higher charges need to be brought in asap.

I was told the State doctors /nurses are better paid than the private sector, with ring fenced golden handshake pensions! Which is ,I suppose , why the state sector workers were upset at Troika suggesting they were overpaid etc...

I cant prove it as my info was hearsay also, but I know the police had cuts in pay and pensions as I was told by a fairly high ranking ex Cypriot policeman.
If Drs are in short supply then they should recruit more.
