Boc added that he has sent these instructions to the Minister of Health and the president of the National Health Insurance House (CNAS).

The prime minister stated that public spending on the purchase of medical drugs has doubled in the last eight years.

Romanian President Traian Basescu said Monday, on national television, that the minister of Health and the president of CNAS must either agree to "put some order into the expenses," or leave their positions, adding that he has had a talk with Boc and a solution must be found "very soon."
