The medical ambulance service in Elgoibar and Toulouse will be public from 7 January
The staff of the ambulances in Gipuzkoa may be subrogated in the Public Health System under the same conditions as before "until the corresponding places have been stabilized by OPE", and may remain in the company but in another workplace.
The medicalized ambulance service in Elgoibar and Toulouse will be fully public from 7 January and its staff will be subrogated by Osakidetza, the Department of Health has reported.
Representatives of this department and of Osakidetza have met this Tuesday with members of Ambulancias Gipuzkoa and their staff to explain to them what working formula will continue to be offered from 7 January the medicalized ambulance service in Elgoibar and Tolosa.
The agreement provides for the possibility for Gipuzkoa ambulance personnel to be subrogated in the Public Health System under the same conditions as up to "until the corresponding places are stabilized by OPE", and to remain in the company but in another workplace.
In a statement, the Department of Health has advanced that in 2026 the Donostia service will also be made public and, in this way, Osakidetza will provide the entire medicalized ambulance service throughout Gipuzkoa.
"With the publication of the Elgoibar and Tolosa Ambulance Service, the Department of Health reaffirms its commitment to the Health Pact, to take steps towards publicizing essential services," the note explains.
"This process, which is now under way, is part of the strategic line of public-private cooperation and not only does it maintain its commitment not to exceed the current percentage of agreed services, but it also responds to the objective of strengthening the public health system," he explains.
"This measure is part of the Basque Government's commitment to strengthening the Basque public health system, which will achieve a more efficient and patient focused organisation, aligned with the commitments contained in the Basque Health Pact," he concludes.
