Health Minister Alejandro Vázquez hopes that “logic and common sense will prevail” regarding the possible removal of Muface and the subsequent integration of civil servants into public health in nine months, which would generate an “overload” in the health system of Castilla y León by adding some 80,000 new patients. He criticized yesterday the fact that the Minister of Health, Mónica García, “does not exercise” her powers while “she is dedicated to invading others”, in this case it has been within the Spanish government itself- even, recalling that Muface depends on the Ministry of Health.

During his participation in the National Meeting on Vaccines and Immunizations 2024, held in Valladolid, Vázquez stressed that this situation would entail a “high economic cost” for Castilla y León, since the figure announced to support mutualists “does not not even reach half.” of what it costs for an insured person in the Community benefiting from health coverage”, he declared.
He regretted that Mónica García had “evacuated” a report “absolutely disrespectful towards the communities”, by making public through the social network the characteristics of this report, which is “quite weak and weak”, because “it only serves as a a framework to situate an ideological situation which is absolutely obsolete at the moment,” he noted.
In this regard, he stressed that Muface depends on the portfolio of the minister, Óscar López, who “has remained silent in recent daysbecause they were actually negotiating the budgets and they didn’t want any changes, but they had no choice but to put themselves forward and let logic prevail,” Ical reports.
Given the possibility of assuming this burden, the advisor stressed that it would be necessary to take care of approximately 80,000 patients in nine months with a “very heterogeneous” provincial distribution, which This would generate a “significant overload” for the health system in Castilla y León.
“Ultimately, the logic is that reason prevails and rights continue to be offered and maintained, both for the people who are in Muface, who have acquired rights, and for the people we have in the system of health of Castile and León. León, who are also entitled to acceptable deadlines, for which we are working,” said the councilor.
