The Council of the trade union of health and social care employees (LVSADA) requested on 17 May 2016 that the parliament hold a vote of no confidence against the Prime Minister. The decision was supported by 21 out of 28 Council members present at the meeting. LVSADA said that the medical trade unions had previously agreed to sign a compromise proposal for the government’s action plan. However, the proposal for increased financing to healthcare to address the problems in the sector in accordance with the recommendations by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Commission was not included in the action plan approved by the government on 26 April 2016.
