Executive Summary
A Norwegian hospital that carried out 25-30% of all the invasive cardiology and surgical procedures in the country in 2002 is under threat because of a drastic reduction in state funding, says Norwegian MP Asmund Kristoffersen. In 2002, the Feiring hospital carried out 4,029 consultations, 1,825 procedures for unblocking clogged arteries and 1,275 additional invasive surgical procedures.
