The Chega parliamentary group will ask for a parliamentary assessment of the SNA Statute, considering that it “does not solve any fundamental problem” and “creates additional problems” of transparency, and also points to doubts about the constitutionality of the diploma.
In a statement, the party announces that “this afternoon it will submit a request for the consideration in Parliament of the decree-law promulgated by the President of the Republic, in accordance with Article 4, No. 1, subparagraph h) of the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly of the Republic, with a view to substantive amendments to it “.
“The promulgation by the President of the Republic of the new statutes of the SNS, published today in Diário da República, does not solve any of the fundamental problems of the Portuguese healthcare system and creates additional problems in terms of transparency and efficiency,” Chega criticizes.
Noting that “along with some technical details, such as the new ‘special regime state institutions’, the system is even more vulnerable to corruption and fraud without the control and verification mechanisms that would be fundamental in this place”, MPs from the far right party believe that “in this matter, there are reasonable doubts about the constitutionality and legality of the diploma.”
“Lack of funds, misrepresentation of financial resources, and sky-high levels of waste and fraud persist as new powers are assigned or old ones are extended without any indication of how they can be carried out,” Chega lists.
The Rules of Procedure of the Assembly of the Republic states that “a petition for the consideration of decree-laws with a view to terminating or changing them must be signed by 10 deputies.” Since the parliamentary group “Enough” consists of 12 deputies, there are enough of them to move forward.
On Monday, the republic’s president unveiled the Charter of the SNA, deeming it “would be incomprehensible” to drag it out, and urged the government to speed up its regulation and clarify ambiguities in fear of losing a “unique opportunity.”
“The intention has positive aspects,” he stressed, but the government’s letter “raises doubts” in three aspects “that need to be considered”: “Time, the idea of executive leadership and the combination of centralization in this Office and the promise of decentralized healthcare,” the note says. published on the website of the Presidium of the Republic.
Based on these three points, the President of the Republic warned the socialist executive branch to “accelerate its regulation, clarify what remains to be clarified, find a framework and charter that gives the future to the executive leadership, and combine their powers with a view to decentralization.” in health.”
Also today, the Liberal Initiative said it wants a parliamentary assessment of the SNA Statute, which it believes raises “many doubts” and does not meet health needs, and called on the PSD to join this request, which needs 10 MPs.
