A 2026-os költségvetés-elemzésből
Who runs 1,380 billion forints of hospital spending from one office?
The National Hospital Directorate-General coordinates a centrally-operated hospital network — its budget should shrink as the delivery model opens to plural providers.
Nearly 10,000 Ft per taxpayer per year to fund the central coordinating office — on top of the 1.38 trillion Ft hospital network it oversees.
Amit látsz — és amit nem
The seen: a directorate that coordinates state hospitals. The unseen: the information about which hospitals need what, which regions are underserved, which specialties are short — information that cannot reach a central coordinating office and so is never acted on.
Ellenvetés
"Without central coordination, who ensures hospitals across the country work together?"
Válasz
The plural-provider model does not eliminate coordination — it replaces administrative allocation with purchasing contracts and inspection. Church-maintained hospitals already operate in Hungary without central directorate oversight. Freezing the directorate's budget holds it flat while the delivery model is reformed; it should not grow to administer a monopoly the reform is unwinding.
Share if you think hospital resources should follow patients, not administrators.

Indoklás
The Országos Kórházi Főigazgatóság is the central directorate that coordinates the state hospital network. Its rationale is bound to the single-operator delivery model: it is the head office of a centrally-operated hospital system. As the curative-care delivery model migrates toward plural providers and patient-following funding (the recommendation on the Gyógyító-megelőző line above), the coordinating-directorate function shrinks with the estate it coordinates. A Nominal Freeze is the honest interim classification: holding the allocation at its current nominal level lets ordinary inflation erode the real envelope by roughly a fifth to a quarter over a decade — about 8,200–9,800 millió Ft of real-terms reduction — while the larger delivery-model reform determines the directorate's eventual size. Freezing rather than cutting reflects that the body's correct endpoint depends on a structural reform not yet legislated; it should not expand in the meantime.
Átállási mechanizmus
Hold the nominal allocation flat; revisit once the hospital delivery-model reform sets the directorate's final scope.
Érintett csoportok
No immediate displacement; the real-terms squeeze is absorbed through ordinary efficiency rather than layoffs.
