Although the Specific Health CareServices Act comes into force on 1 April 2012, the Ministryof Health and the Ministry of Labour and SocialAffairs officially represented on 29 March 2012 a differentopinion. According to the ministries´ statement,almost the whole act is inapplicable and employersshall obey the old regulations. Authors of this articleargue for obedience of the new law. The irrationality or inefficiency of a law approved by the Parliament is nota sufficient reason to disobey the law.
