He attributed the situation to the "lack of responsibility of the Penitentiary Administration" and the "lack of institutional control in Navarre". ELA has warned that the two doctors in the Pamplona prison are in IT situation and that the lack of health care services is serious. "Not only are these low-income situations regrettable, but they can be repeated in the future."

"At ELA we are against the adoption of services that are not part of the state or Navarro public system. We denounce the 'covert privatisation' of a service that must be absolutely public. It can be a very dangerous precedent if health competencies are not transferred to the Public System of Navarra," says the union. The Health Advisor, Cristina Uriarte, has already requested a meeting with the Basque Government. What they are calling for is "a clear attitude, an immediate solution and a promise that the situation will not be repeated again".
