The Socialist Party considered this week that the health system charter, as proposed by the President of the Republic, depends on the relevant measures and policies, rejecting any transfer of public resources from the health sector. SNS For private.
Speaking after a meeting with the board of the local health unit of Leiria – the fourth such meeting held by the Socialist Party’s parliamentary group in different parts of the country to understand the difficulties facing the SNS response – MP João Paulo Correia was asked about the idea defended the day before by Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa of a system charter to provide stability and “political continuity” to the health sector.
“The health system charter cannot be answered with yes for yes’s sake or no for no’s sake,” he began, emphasizing the idea that “the SNS certainly has a greater public interest.”
For the coordinator of the Socialist Party’s parliamentary group on the Health Committee, “the question is about the charter of the system on what measures”, that is, what policies are being talked about for the future of the National Health Service.
“Only after we know exactly what measures the government intends to take as alternatives to the emergency plan will it be possible to provide considerations and comments on this matter,” he said.
However, according to João Paulo Correia, “there is an unshakable principle for socialist service that any new measure or any policy for the social networking system must include the promotion of social networking services and not the transformation of public resources into private resources.”
For the private sector, the private sector must “continue to exist in a logic of integration.”
“At the beginning of last week, the Social Democratic Party came to parliament to demand unity, to address the Socialist Party, to find solutions for the National Socialist Party. The Socialist Party responded by saying that it was always available for dialogue. However, a few days later, the Prime Minister, the Director General of the Government, came to say that what was happening was an emergency plan and that it would continue with all its measures.”
According to João Paulo Correia, “the failure of the emergency plan itself is clear, especially in light of the expectations created by Luís Montenegro in the electoral campaign and immediately after taking office as Prime Minister,” when he promised that he would “solve the biggest difficulties.” SNS in the first 60 days.
He said the Socialist Party was waiting for the measures the government wanted to present as alternatives to the emergency plan.
The Socialist MP insisted that “the emergency plan failed, that it does not respond to the difficulties of the Syrian National Party, and that it provides measures to convert public resources into private resources.”
“The Socialist Party has always looked at the private sector in the health sector with a logic of integration, but the priority must always be for the social networking system. He stressed that the measures that can be presented can never deviate from this logic and principle, stressing that “the Socialist Party is fighting for the present of the Syrian National Party, but it is also fighting for its future.”
On Monday, the 12th of this month, the President of the Republic defended the system agreement between the largest parties in the field of health, considering that it is “really essential” that there be stability and “political continuity” in the future.
“The regime charter meant political continuity. That was fundamental,” he told SIC-Notícias in Monte Gordo, where he is enjoying a short vacation.
The head of state then considered that “stability in the future is useful” and “in the National Health Service, it is really fundamental.”
The proposal for a system agreement between PSD and PS in the health sector was left on Sunday night by SIC commentator and former Social Democratic leader Luis Márquez Méndez.
