SEGOVIA, 7 ( EUROPA PRESS)
Adviser to health of Castilla y León, Antonio MarÃa Sáez Aguado, has welcomed the adoption on Tuesday of the mechanism to ensure payment to providers of administrations from May and has highlighted the need to incorporate also other measures to improve the management of health care and avoid borrowing, which will require “additional efforts” to society.
Sáez Aguado, during a visit to Segovia, emphasised that, unlike other communities, Castilla y León pays their bills on time offices of pharmacy, which represent a turnover of almost EUR 750 million, but that it is true that there have been difficulties to assume the payment of some providers of hospitals, especially large laboratories, given that hospital spending reaches a “significant” amount of 250 million per year.
The owner of health has expressed regret in this sense that the previous Government of the nation do not understand this situation as a joint problem of the Spanish public health system and “not doing anything” in this regard, at the time welcomed the new Executive has enabled lines of credit that will help to “minimize” the difficulties of autonomous communities.
“Do not ask that the Government pay the debt of communities, but they use their financial potential to help us to update”, pointed out the Advisor, for whom apart from these lines must be incorporated further measures to improve health management and to avoid you to consider again the problem.
This, as it has been said, will “require additional efforts for all citizens, workers and administrations”.
“We are not a rich country, we got used to live like rich and now have to adjust to our ability to generate revenue and that will have some impact,” he added Sáez.
In this sense, has valued measures raised by the Junta of Castilla and León, which has referred as “balanced” because they claim the effort both citizens and administrations and officials.
