Deputy Minister of Health Yaakov Litzman on Wednesday met in Yerushalayim with Eida Chareidis GAVAD Rav Tuvia Weiss Shlita, discussing the dire fiscal situation in Bikur Cholim Hospital and the problem surrounding Barzilai Hospital’s plans to relocate kevarim to build its new ‘secure wing’ which would be capable of withstanding rocket attacks from Gaza.

According to a Kol Chai Radio report following the meeting, Litzman told Rav Weiss that he is dealing with the problem at Barzilai, having announced previously that he will not permit disturbing kevarim while other viable solutions exist.
