The National Secretary of health and Social Affairs of the Popular Party, Jose Ignacio Echániz, has argued that a public health in a situation without resorting to formulas of copayment “ruinous” can be addressed and brought as an example the “intelligent measures” which in his view is taking the Government of Castilla – La Mancha, in which he is Health Minister.

In statements to the media in Málaga, where he has participated in a meeting with Andalusian health professionals, Echániz has asked the Andalusian President, José Antonio Griñán, not accused the PP of wanting to introduce such measures and “giving account to the citizens of its management of public health”. “What we know through the patron saint of the pharmaceutical industry and the health services industry are nearly 3 billion euros”, emphasised.

Echániz has emphasized that in “no Spanish autonomous community governed by the PP there is no copayment” and has defended how himself faced the “ruinous” situation of La Mancha health reach the autonomy Government last year. The Andalusian PP can be found with something like if you arrive to the Board, he added.

In Castile – La Mancha have had to make adjustments, crop unproductive spending and we have been able to restore the delicate situation with clever measures, but without asking the citizens to do a contribution beyond that already make these moments”, has been added.

Echániz has also loaded against the management of the Government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who has accused to 15 billion of debt on public health and have endangered “” the sustainability of the system.

Echániz reminded that health is paid with taxes, so priority to clean up the health Andalusian and Spanish should be job creation and that more jobs, it will raise more and may be improving health. In this sense has stressed that “the main commitment of the Government of Rajoy and the next Government of Arenas is the creation of employment”.
