Madrid, 8 APR ( EFE).-the Minister of health, Social services and equality, Ana Mato, has assured that it will ensure a “free and quality” health, but has warned they do need reforms to the health care system that we have, “which is magnificent,” is also “feasible”.
Thus voted the Minister in an interview to the newspaper “La Razón”, which is asked about the announcement by the Minister of economy, Luis Guindos, in an interview with the daily Frankfurter Allgemeine, that the forthcoming reforms affect the public, particularly to health and education services.
“I would define the situation of our health system of absolutely unsustainable.” “Reforms are necessary”, has insisted Mato, who has emphasized his proposal for a Pact of State health and social policies so that you can “rationalize expenditure, improve systems and remove duplication of work through a basic portfolio of services”.
“I.e., choose some basic services to citizens who have to be compulsorily treated in all autonomous communities alike,” explained Mato, who has nevertheless been convinced that the autonomic system “it worked”, but that “cannot be kept to base not to pay”. “It is unworkable,” he pointed out.
The Minister stressed that “This Government has made an effort to put accounts to zero with the payment to suppliers to start again” and that that is what she is going to ensure: a “free & quality” health.
Responsible for health Mato has denied that it will be “medicamentazo”, i.e., that they are not going to stop paying medicines by the fact that they are cheap, but yes it has pointed out that it will modernize the Valdemécum substituting medications that have been outdated.
And on the Catalan euro by recipe, indicated that already has met with the Catalan Councillor for “between all” adopt reforms to ensure that the Catalan citizens do not have to pay extra fees to afford health.
