The Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Luís Roberto Barroso granted the injunction to suspend the effects of the new law on the nursing floor, set at R$ 4,750.
Sanctioned by Bolsonaro last month, the measure did not indicate a source of funding and generated a wave of complaints from health institutions, which predicted an increase of over R$17 billion per year in hospital bills, with the prospect of thousands of layoffs and cuts. of beds.
The sector’s reaction was presented in the ADI (Direct Action of Unconstitutionality), which was proposed by the CNSaúde (National Health Confederation) and received the support of entities such as Santas Casas, philanthropic hospitals and dialysis centers.
By Barroso’s decision, the law is suspended until the impacts on the financial situation of states and municipalities, the issue of risk to jobs and the quality of health services are clarified.
