ELA has supported the publication of ambulances in Tolosa and Elgoibar, but has denounced the lack of transparency
As of today, Osakidetza has taken over the medicalized ambulance service in both municipalities. The ELA union has supported the process but not the way to carry it out. Throughout this year Osakidetza will also make public the management of medicalized ambulances in San Sebastian.
The Tolosa and Elgoibar Medical Ambulance Service has since become public and will be managed directly by Osakidetza, so that the Advanced Life Support Service previously provided by Ambulancias de Gipuzkoa is part of the Basque public health network.
The publication affects 46 professionals who previously worked for the private company to which the service has been assigned: doctors, nurses and health transport technicians.
The ELA union welcomes Osakidetza's direct assumption of the management of medicalized ambulances as a step towards strengthening public health. However, it does not share the way the process has been conducted. In recent days, the union has denounced Osakidetza's "silence" and "lack of transparency" and called for the subrogation of the entire staff that was providing the service.
In this context, workers' representatives, such as the nurse at the Mertxe Zubeldia Service, have stressed the uncertainty created among workers because there is no clear information ontheir future work.
The acquisition of the services of Tolosa and Elgoibar is part of a broader process. It is planned that during this year Osakidetza will also publicize the management of medicalized ambulances in San Sebastián, so that 100% of the Gipuzkoa Advanced Life Support Ambulance service will be provided entirely from the public health system.
