The Government of Navarra advocates changing the law so that the health system does not fail
- The Health Advisor of Navarra has defended the need to amend the Health Law and turn it into a public enterprise entity such as Osasunbidea, otherwise "the system will not fail". Trade unions do not agree with this formula.
Osasunbidea "erakunde malgu eta arin" bihurtu nahi du Nafarroako Gobernuak.
The Health Act in force in Navarra dates back to 1990 and the government has already submitted the draft bill that would replace it. “If we do nothing, the system will soon fail and we will have to take away many of the services we give to citizens,” said Health Advisor Fernando Domínguez, in a few days. “Something has to be done.”
One of the most controversial changes in the bill is the new legal nature of the Navarro Institute of Public Health and Occupational Health and Osasunbidea for the operation of the company as a public entity. “That would mean becoming a flexible and agile decision-making organization, with autonomy in monetary and center management issues. Osasunbidea would have the greatest autonomy allowed by legal regulations.”
The ELA and LAB unions are opposed to this formula. According to ELA, the future recruited staff would cease to be an official, so it could dismiss workers affected by the strike. LAB has stressed that groups of workers with different rights would be set up, that the door is opened to privatising some of the services and that the government wants to put the Osakidetza model in Navarre.
