Minister of Public Health Jose Rodriguez Soldevila complained yesterday that there are too many people on his payroll. He said the new staff is causing payroll problems. He said the Budget Office returned this month’s payroll because of an excess of employees that brought the wage total to more than what was budgeted. This has resulted in delays in the payment of public health sector wages. He said that personnel expenditures increased by RD$25 million this month, up to RD$275 million, as reported in Hoy newspaper.
