The mayor of Tallinn, Jevgeni Ossinovski, wrote to the prime minister. He asked for money for a new hospital. The city awaits a response by May 16.
Ossinovski said that they are talking with the government. They want to merge two hospitals. The new hospitals will be located in Mustamäe and Lasnamäe.
Money is a big problem. The government has not yet decided. The city must decide in the summer.
On June 12, there is a city council meeting. Hospitals will be discussed there. The state must decide quickly. The city is ready to act without the state.
Ossinovski said that a lot of work has been done for the hospital. He wants to talk more with the architects.
Deputy mayor Karl Sander Kase said that they are talking with hospital managers. The hospitals are old and need renovation. Building a hospital costs a lot.
Another Deputy mayor, Pärtel Peeter Pere, said that the city is not waiting for state money. They want to merge the hospitals themselves. The city has proposed that the state pays 60% and the city 40%. The government has not yet decided.
