AI Summary (NQ-processed)
Minister of Health and Welfare Shih Chung-liang stated that a two-year buffer period is necessary for the implementation of the three-shift nurse-patient ratio law. This is to prevent hospitals from closing beds if they fail to meet standards and to avoid a repeat of last year's emergency department congestion. However, multiple legislators have criticized the policy's delay.
