A recent report from Latvia's Ministry of Health has determined that there is not enough evidence to implicate the previous board of the Daugavpils Regional Hospital in actions that led to significant financial losses, and thus no grounds for civil claims against them. This conclusion was drawn following an external audit and a task assigned by the government to evaluate the responsibility of the hospital's officials after the state's involvement in the institution.

The report attributes the hospital's financial difficulties mainly to various external factors, including the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, sharp increases in the costs of personnel, materials, and energy resources, and changes in the volume of state-paid inpatient services. These challenges have contributed to the hospital's financial straits, suggesting that the difficulties may be more systemic rather than merely the result of mismanagement.

Despite the lack of evidence for gross negligence or illegal actions by the former board, the audit did uncover shortcomings in financial planning, budgeting controls, and risk management. These deficiencies could be critical in guiding future reforms at the hospital to prevent similar issues from arising and ensuring better financial stability and accountability moving forward.
