The union ALS considers that the Government of Navarra “wants to approve the Regional Health Law to be able to say goodbye Navarrese Health Service“.
This is indicated by a statement in which he requests the withdrawal of this initiative with which, as he details, “he intends to create the public business entities of Osasunbidea and of Institute of Public and Professional Health of Navarremodifying its current legal nature”, which means that the staff who join will be work and no official.
This, he concludes, “does not close the door to privatizationand allows the government to lay off or amortize positions in Osasunbidea like any other public or private company“.
The union published a report on public health which was presented this Tuesday by Imanol Pascualcoordinator of ALS of Navarre, Josune Guerraresponsible for Osasunbidea And Iñaki Zabaletamember of Design Office.
Among their conclusions, they emphasize that “the lack of investment worsens Osasunbidea and opens the door private health care” and emphasize in this sense that “continued disinvestment is evident in the Draft budget 2025which will only grow by 1% compared to the final credit of 2024, loses 0.2 points compared to the whole economy and will grow less than inflation“.
This lack of investment, according to ALScauses the public health spending In Navarre i.e. 590 million euros less than the average of EU-27.
The union also emphasizes that medical staff ratio This is a third less than the average OECDand that of nursing staff is half, “being the situation of primary care particularly serious.”
All this makes quality of services “get worse, as we see, among other things, in the waiting lists and in the real expectationwhich is higher than what the statistics indicate”, warns ALS who believes that in this way “this opens the door to business of private health to the one who can pay it. »
Also question the temporality of the 51.7% (while according to a European directive it should be less than 8% and average temporary employment in the private sector is 18.7%), A Bias of 21.1%and a loss of purchasing power of the 15.8% in 15 years.
To all this is added the “the discrimination in professional career“, since “of 5,200 people that they did not have it recognized, 2,150 from levels C and D “They still won’t get it.”
In this context, it requires an increase in investment in public health to improve the quality of working conditions and of health care.
