Following the decision, the 670 doctors and 2400 nurses will be taken over by the nursing homes or will be redistributed to other units, in three stages: first within the county, then to neighboring counties, then to hospitals elsewhere in the country.

On Tuesday, the Health Ministry told local authorities to stop admissions to the 67 hospitals, because as of April 1, 2011, they will no longer be in contract with the health insurance houses and so will be without funding.

The nursing homes will be financed by the Labor Ministry.
