18 in favour, 11 abstentions: five villages lose their health centre, and the decision does not say what happens to the doctor

On 18 June, Ungheni District Council voted to merge the district's health centres — from 11 down to 6. Mănoilești, Valea Mare, Cetireni, Rădenii Vechi and Petrești lose their own institution. The plan is a mechanical application of a national threshold: the centres that survive are exactly those with more than 6,000 people on their lists. But it was the only contested vote of the whole sitting — 11 of the 29 councillors present abstained — and at that same sitting the council extended the contracts of the heads of two centres it was in the act of dissolving.
