More than 454,000 zlotys were earned in 2022 by the presidents of two medical concerns in Pomerania. Jolanta Sobierańska-Grenda from the Pomeranian hospitals received PLN 37,950 per month, and Dariusz Kostrzewa, head of “Copernicus” – PLN 115 less.
The right to a fair wage commensurate with the effects of economic activity
– announced Prime Minister Donald Tusk in his famous 2007 statement.
When he introduced the health package to the Sejm in 2010, he determined that it would arouse resistance from those “looking for easy money in health care and wanting a wild privatization of hospitals”. He comforted on the spot that Poles “will be treated by well-paid doctors and nurses.”
Wages in commercialized hospitals in Pomerania, under the political nose of the former Prime Minister, are regulated by resolutions of the Pomeranian Voivodeship Board, which is led by Mieczysław Struk, the leader of the Pomeranian PO. Members of the boards of the two largest hospital groups are entitled to a remuneration of 4 to 8 times the average remuneration from the fourth quarter of the previous year as announced by the chairman of the Central Bureau of Statistics and are entitled to a 50 percent bonus for the achieving management objectives. The same ratio is the basis for determining the remuneration of supervisory directors.
For the chairman this means the salary in the amount announced by Statistics Netherlands, for his deputy the conversion factor is 0.9, for the other members 0.8. For 2021 it was PLN 6,220, for 2022 – PLN 6,965. That means that municipalities in both Pomeranian medical care can cost an average of about PLN 300,000 per year. zloty. Their composition is dominated by people associated with the Pomeranian authorities’ environs, although during the meetings Donald Tusk teased the audience that patient representatives should have an impact on health care decisions.
Mr. Struk’s management does not even invite the opposition to consult or nominate candidates for supervision in such a sensitive area
– says Jerzy Barzowski, head of the PiS club in the Pomeranian Regional Council, member of the health committee.
The asset declarations submitted by the boards of medical companies show that 2022 was very successful for their financial well-being. Former director of the health department of the marshal’s office in Gdańsk, president of Pomeranian hospitals in Gdynia, Jolanta Sobierańska-Grenda has again become the most expensive manager in the Pomeranian medical sector. In the 2022 financial season, it collected PLN 455,406, an increase of PLN 50,000. PLN more than last year. When she took over the position in 2017, she was earning PLN 25,000 per month – now it is PLN 37,950. A year ago there were still 820,000. PLN savings, now it is only 380 thousand. PLN, but a nice residential area appeared in the real estate portfolio again. The president no longer runs his own law firm, which ultimately resulted in an embarrassing loss for the manager, and he is no longer a member of ARP’s supervisory board. And he does not publicly complain about the lack of government support, because “he suffers losses because there are costs”. Including respectable cost of management salaries…
Dariusz Nałęcz, the second member of the board of directors, who worked for the company during 2022, received PLN 366,300 in remuneration, more than PLN 70,000. PLN more than in 2021. From other sources – rent and commissions – Nałęcz earned more than PLN 150,000. zloty. The vice president’s savings increased from PLN 278,000 to PLN 482 thousand zlotys.
Following the 2022 retirement of the second vice president, Dr. Andrzej Zieleniewski, the board of trustees, has appointed Jacek Pilarczyk, former head of the Pomeranian National Health Fund’s branch, to his post. It debuted at 6,000. PLN savings, a flat with an area of 116 square meters worth PLN 1.4 million and a salary from the National Health Fund for 9 months in the amount of PLN 156,000. zloty. For the first 3 months in a company selling medical services, he received PLN 46.4 thousand. zloty. In total, the management of Gdynia’s hospital business cost the taxpayer one million zlotys.
In turn, more than PLN 1.17 million was paid in Gdańsk to the board of directors of the medical entity “Copernicus”. The president, a retired military doctor, Dariusz Kostrzewa, also has no right to complain about the owner’s generosity. According to the asset declaration for 2022, he received PLN 454,024 from the company – PLN 37,835 per month. It’s also 50,000. PLN more than a year ago, by 60 percent. more than six years ago. Just over 30,000 The president’s military pension was PLN 800, and suddenly he sold his scientific achievements for PLN 800. Some pennies also affected the account due to hunting activities. The president has 70,000 PLN in savings, does not mention owning a car, although it is sometimes seen behind the wheel. Also two of his deputies: Krzysztof Wójcikiewicz – for medical and Piotr Wróblewski – for medical. can’t complain about last year. The salary of the former has increased from PLN 328,000. PLN to PLN 378 thousand PLN, the income of the District Medical Chamber has also increased significantly – from PLN 45,000 to PLN to PLN 79 thousand zlotys. Therefore, the Vice President’s significant savings amounting to PLN 0.5 million are not surprising.
In turn, the vice president, Piotr Wróblewski, earned PLN 342,000 last year. PLN, also with 50 thousand. PLN more than a year ago, he also downloaded 49 thousand. PLN military pension. Compared to six years ago, both vice presidents earn 60 percent less than they did six years ago. more. Also about 50 thousand. PLN, the income of the president Marzena Mrozek, who heads the company that manages the specialist hospital in Kościerzyna, increased. Last year there were 323,000. PLN, and in 2019 only 227 thousand. zloty. The salary of the president of the hospital in Słupsk was suddenly symbolically increased. Andrzej Sapiński received PLN 284,000. PLN from your employer, only 4 thousand. PLN more than in 2021. Vice President Aneta Barnak-Feszak earned PLN 235,000. PLN, 7 thousand. PLN more than in 2021. Tomasz Augustyniak, who previously headed the provincial health department in government structures, earned PLN 160,000 in 2022 at the rheumatology hospital in Sopot. PLN within 10 months. His deputy, Maciej Laszkiewicz, former deputy head of the health department of Marshal Struk, in a full year of work – 203,000. zloty. At the 2021 level, the salary of the President Małgorzata Paszkowicz of the Oliwa Children’s Hospital was kept – it is PLN 245,000. zloty. On the other hand, considerable financial progress was made by the president of the hospital in Prabuty. Just two years ago, her salary was $145,000. PLN, but in 2022 it will be 213 thousand. zloty.
The vast majority of the revenue of Pomeranian commercial law firms, into which the government of Tusk and Minister Ewa Kopacz turned hospitals, comes from contracts with the National Health Fund. It is the health insurers that finance the budgets of companies and … the remuneration of the directors. Suggesting in some corporate annual reports that low valuations of the National Health Fund, its monopoly, or strong competition from the state of MUG affect the unsatisfactory results of medical companies sounds at least as crafty as Tusk’s courtship of nurses and paramedics.
Donald Tusk praised Minister Kopacz’s commercialization of hospitals and announced that patients will feel safe in the new structures…
earn 455 thousand. PLN you can feel safe from Monday to Friday, from January to December. And to believe Tusk that the Pomeranian medical business is making pennies?!
