RAKUS assesses losses linked to violations found in funeral service procurements

Riga East Clinical University Hospital (RAKUS) is assessing whether violations identified by the Competition Council (KP) in funeral service procurements have caused the hospital financial losses. The Competition Council is the Latvian authority that oversees fair competition in the market. If losses are confirmed, the hospital may seek compensation.

The information came from RAKUS management board member Kaspars Plūme. According to him, the hospital is examining not only whether losses actually occurred, but also whether there is a legal basis to demand that they be compensated.

The source does not specify which violations were found, which companies are involved, or how large the possible losses might be. It also does not say when the hospital expects to complete its assessment or whether it will take action against any of the parties involved.
