The autonomous communities say 'no' to the waiting list decree and the Ministry of Health will put it to public consultation
World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported4m ago
Spain's Ministry of Health announced it will send its proposed royal decree on waiting lists to public consultation after regional health authorities rejected the measure during the Interterritorial Health Council. The ministry's initiative aims to prevent the manipulation of waiting list data.
Regional health chiefs argued that several aspects of the proposal remain unresolved. The disagreement led the Health Minister to criticize the regional stance as a political irresponsibility that dismisses two years of technical work by regional experts. According to reports, the opposition to the reform included regions governed by the Partido Popular as well as Castilla-La Mancha.
