The Ministry of Health has reached an agreement with the Medical Forum and the strike could be called off

The Ministry of Health has announced that it has reached an agreement with the Medical Forum, and it is therefore possible that the strike called by doctors against the Framework Statute will be halted.

The Ministry headed by Monica Garcia has issued the details of the agreement in a note. The Medical Forum is attended by the Medical College Organization (WTO), the CESM Trade Union, the Spanish Federation of Scientific Medical Societies (FACME), the National Conference of Dean of Medical Facets and the State Council of Medical Students (CEEM).

In recent months, this forum has supported the demands of the unions calling for unemployment, including the Medical Union of the Basque Country.

According to the Ministry, the content of the text they have agreedto gives rise to the demands of doctors , which include a new professional classification, direct contact to work, early retirement and improved pay for guards.

In any event, the reform of the Framework Statute agreed by the Department of Health with the trade unions SATSE-FSES, CC.OO., UGT and CSIF will continue.

This bill must now be dealt with by the Spanish Parliament, which will include specific measures specifically aimed at doctors.
