Health contracts which point to the current director of the SAS are bureaucratic corrections, according to the Council

The so-called new contracts by the express procedure in the Andalusian health service (SAS) which motivated the judicial appointment of the current director of the SAS are, in reality, bureaucratic changes of those which already existed in 2023.

This is what the Andalusian government defends, which denies that new emergency contractswhich ended, they insist, in May 2023.

This explanation comes after the investigating judge indicted the current SAS Manager as well as his two predecessors in office for the use of split contracts, which were used for health management during the global Covid crisis.

In the case of the current manager, Garcia Valley -who has held this position since December 2023-, his accusation comes this Thursday since the PSOE denounced that that same year express contracts had been used again.

This type of hiring, however, has no longer been in effect within the Council since May 2023, they insist. of the Andalusian government. How, then, do we find the records of these operations linked to oncological medical procedures in spring 2024?

medical procedures

Sources from Juanma Moreno’s management explain it: these are not new contracts, they emphasize, but bureaucratic changesadministrative, contracts awarded when the system was in force.

So, from the Andalusian government They emphasize that the medical procedures mentioned by the PSOE in its complaint exist. But they are not the subject of a new contract, but of an amendment to those that already existed.

An amendment, it must be explained, is a modification or addition to an already signed contract. An additional note after its terms have been established. In this case they highlight the Andalusian Government because the clinics that subscribed to it adjusted the patients they treated to the budget they received.

Previous contracts

This adjustment was actually made in the spring of this year. But, they insist Andalusian governmentrefer to contracts before May 2023, when the express contract system – supported by separate health reports – was considered extinct.

Thus, the Commission maintains that these medical acts are administrative acts which They do not represent an increase in expenses neither, nor, new contracts.

From the PSOE they defend that the Andalusian government has used it excessively and outside the norm the form of the contract express And, expanding his complaint about these events, the judge decided to investigate these events.

Juan Espadas

This is why the last three SAS managers are billed. According to the general secretary of the PSOE of Andalusia, Juan EspadasIt is now time for the Chairman of the Board of Directors to explain himself.

The leader of the Andalusian PSOE, whose initiative brought the matter to court, insisted this Thursday that These medical acts are new contracts. Particularly harsh towards the Andalusian Government, Espadas accused the Regional Executive of “lying” by assuring that it had stopped applying the Covid-19 express contracts.

“He continued to use the formula by hand“, he added, in reference to the Andalusian government. “Nine occasions that we have detected, outside the law, like those of 2022 and 2023.”
