Establishment of a Hospital in the City of Sakhnin (Legislative Amendments) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הקמת בית חולים בעיר סח'נין (תיקוני חקיקה)

TL;DRA bill to require the establishment of a public hospital in the city of Sakhnin and to regulate the allocation of land and a building plan for this purpose.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends three existing laws: the Public Health Ordinance (1940), to require the director to establish a hospital in Sakhnin; the Israel Land Authority Law (1960), to require the Authority's council to allocate land in the city within a defined period; and the Planning and Building Law (1965), to require the planning institution to discuss and decide on a plan to establish the hospital within one month of submission of the request. The bill justifies this by the need for accessible medical services for residents of Sakhnin and the surrounding area.
