Fear in the primary care Catalan to a reduction of the squares of the MIR family.
Spain, 2011-June as all years by this time, the Deprtamento of health and Institut d ’ d’Estudis de Salut (IES) are developing supply capacity of residents for the next call MIR. The first proposals which are knowing point to a decrease in places throughout Catalonia, but more importantly for residents of family and community medicine. From the Catalan society of family and community medicine (CAMFiC) wants to draw attention to the impact of this decision may have.
In Catalonia, the proportion of seats for training residents in primary health care to those offered in hospitals has always been lower than the existing one in the Spanish State, despite the fact that in 2010 he experienced a true balance. The reduction in primary on the hospital is not a trivial fact, as it directly affects the health model for the future, and greatly affects its planning.
If the situation drags Catalan primary attention to other communities as places MIR is anomalous, it is not understood early ads for the new call to point to one greater reduction precisely on squares MIR’s primary.
CAMFiC Board will now do a comprehensive monitoring of the entire process, ensuring up where possible that, if there is an overall reduction of capacity, this does not occur at the expense of community and family medicine residents. All this should say that this greater reduction in family medicine is going against the speech of the Ministry for not cutting the primary health care, so that explanations on the reasons for this fact will be recovered and whether responds to a change of strategy of the Department of health.
