Auditors: No checks on billions allocated to hospitals

The Supreme Audit Office says that between 2019 and 2012 the Ministry of Health divided CZK 4.8 billion between three Czech teaching hospitals without any controls over how the money was used.

Officials said that some hospitals had mishandled funding aimed at reducing their debts, breaching established directives.

The findings appear in a Supreme Audit Office report published on Monday and quoted by the Czech News Agency.
