SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, 15 ( EUROPA PRESS)
The President of the Xunta, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has assured that the Ministry of health has already drawn to those responsible for regional industry, “meetings” have been, and that it is working to articulate a system to stop “armored” free health care and to “move” a model “fairer” pharmaceutical delivery.
It has confirmed in an interview with Cadena SER, gathered by Europa Press, after asked for the co-payment and by applying the rate for prescription in Catalonia. Thereon, he rejected “demagogues” and noted that, when a President takes this step, “is not because you like”, but because “probably their situation prevented do anything else other than an effort to urge citizens”.
Therefore rejected “criminalizing” a regional President calling for “an effort” of this type to “maintain the health service” and noted that this type of criticism, let alone come hand “who has left the health system with a debt exceeding 15,000 million euros”.
“If we avoid the strict co-payment in health care, i.e. pay for a surgical intervention or a diagnostic test, I think that, in times of crisis, we will do a good job,” has defended, before remembering that in Portugal “is paid 20 euros for urgency”, and defend a new pharmaceutical delivery system.
“The co-payment already exists in pharmacy”
In line with this assertion, he reminded that the co-payment “already exists in pharmacy” and has claimed that it is “preferable” to other actions articulate a new pharmaceutical delivery “which has much that see the income of citizens” and “solidarity” asked “to the owners of the system” in order to “keep it”.

In fact, said that this matter should be dealt with at the next Conference of Presidents and has advanced that the Ministry has already spoken with regional leaders to advance a new system whereby “shield” public health.
Finally, the President has pointed out that we must seek “all the efficiencies” and has used that in Galicia it works “on this idea” since he took the reins of the Xunta three years ago. By way of example, he referred to the prioritised catalog of drugs, which allowed a significant saving of pharmaceutical expenditure.
