Hike in salaries to cost Dh1.2b: Health Ministry
ABU DHABI — The increase in the salaries of UAE nationals by 25 per cent and non-nationals by 15 per cent has contributed to the rise in the draft budget of the Ministry of Health to around Dh1.2 billion next year.
According to the officials of the Ministry of Health, the proposed budget is a little higher than that of the previous year.
The higher amount in the draft budget relates to the increase in salaries of national and expatriate employees at the ministry, the official said. He added that the budget dossier of some Dh1.5 billion was earlier submitted to the Ministry of Finance and Industry, but the latter sent it back to the Ministry of Health for a review.
Ministry of Health had already slashed the amount to Dh1.205 billion after making necessary reductions.
However, new employment opportunities, totalling 115, jobs, including jobs for newly-graduated nursing staff, have been created for the next year, the sources said.
