The “cultural change” in health referred to the health minister, Gotzone Sagardui, on June 8, according to the lehendakari Inigo Urkullu “try to anticipate and know how to adapt to unfamiliar situations before the pandemic, take advantage of research opportunities with new drugs or the benefits of new technologies”.
This is how the Lehendakari reacted to the question posed by Miren Gorrotxategi, spokesman for Elkarrekin Podemos-IU in the Basque Parliament during the scrutiny session to the government, which criticized that now speaking of a “paradigm shift” deepens the crisis, and “legitimizes the planned decommissioning process” of recent years. “You can’t try to stabilize the poor state of public health, you have to defend public service.”
To this end, it has proposed to the government to “minimum pact”with three specific measures: “Increase investment in Primary care up to 25% of the budget total public health; a commitment in reversal of privatizations and to comply with the decree of waiting lists in surgery or diagnostic tests; Yes finish instantly with the uncertaintywhich is transversal in Osakidetza”, for which it has proposed a “return plan” for medical professionals, with incentives and guarantees of job stability.
Faced with Elkarrekin Podemos-IU’s pact proposal, he stated that improving primary care “priority” of the government program.
In that sense, he announced that the Executive will strengthen primary care by making progress in care integration; and what will happen? “expand, renew and consolidate” Templates. Likewise, it has stated that it will “improve the training and recognition of professionals”.
“We will continue to work towards a health without inequalities, closer to and at the service of the people. The government is committed to these goals and we are going to achieve them,” he said.
Finally, he has appealed to put aside the “broad brush” criticism and the “big heads” to “really oblige us” to work in the defense of Basque health.
