The PSD asked for parliamentary handling of the Government Decree that the Statute of the National Health Service (SNS) created, since it is of the opinion that such a structural issue requires a public and transparent debate “in the Assembly of the Republic.
Parliamentary assessment enables representatives to discuss, change and at least declare a legislative decree, a diploma that falls under the responsibility of the government and is not voted in the Assembly of the Republic.
“The PS seems to understand that with an absolute majority everything she can approve in the government cannot even be discussed with opposition parties.The vice-chairman of the PSD bank Ricardo Baptista Leite criticized in statements to Lusa.
On the contrary, the social-democratic deputy found it justified to resort to parliamentary assessment to ensure that a diploma could mean “a structural change in the SNS” is discussed and “a clear voice” gets in the assembly of the Republic .
“It is necessary to ensure that the debate on this structural issue is conducted in a public and transparent way and that, if possible, we can change the course to a vision that can serious problems in the management and financing of the SNS remedy that the PS proposal does not solve “justified.
Ricardo Baptista Leite has submitted an appeal to the new Minister of Health, Manuel Pizarro, who took office as a successor to Marta Temido on Saturday.
“On the part of the PSD we really understood that the new minister Manuel Pizarro, if he wanted to prove that he was willing to listen to the sick, to listen to the opposition parties, return to the status that was quickly approved by his predecessor and would be available to approve a new status in accordance with the needs of the SNS “orphan.
The PSD deputy admitted that there are no signs in this context so far, but said that he still hopes that the government and the prime minister can “change his mind”.
“We hope that with this debate they understand that it is necessary to change the policy”defended, given that the current status of the SNS does not respond “Until the problems of patients, to the lack of general practitioners, to waiting lists, to health workers on the flight”.
In the text of the parliamentary assessment, the PSD ruled that the current status of the SNS is “a fraud and a missed opportunity”.
“A fraud because it is trying to convey the idea that with ‘this’ status the problems of the SNS will finally be solved; a missed opportunity because it does not compact strategy or a model assumes that the current paradigm of the SNS, which clearly obsolete is and remains “refers.
For Social Democrats, the strategy must be “Based on greater professionalization of the system management, on greater autonomy of the different levels of management in health units, on assuming innovative forms of cooperation between SNS and the private and social sector, as well as an effective valuation of health workers “.
“We should also not forget that the president of the Republic himself, although he established the new statute, was of the opinion that it can” compress or empty “almost everything that is essential,” unregulated, the board of directors and not the conjugation of powers of this ‘with the’ [proclamado] Objective of decentralization in Health ‘”refer.
Finally they point “The new status is clearly insufficient to compact the relations between SNS and the private and social sector in the field of health”.
The SNS statute was published at the beginning of August in the Diário da República after the President of the Republic had announced it, because it would be “incomprehensible” to postpone it, but the government was urged to accelerate the regulations and the ambiguous points, on pain of losing “a unique opportunity”.
The head of state pointed out at the time that the government diploma evoked doubts in three respects: “The time, the idea of the executive management and the combination between centralization in that direction and the promises of decentralization of health,” says the published memorandum on the Page Presidium of the Republic.
In August, Chega and IL gave the opportunity to resort to parliamentary consideration, in which the liberals appealed to the PSD to join this intention, since their bank does not have enough representatives to do this (ten) .
