The Autonomous Communities attack the Ministry: "Conflict resolution is in the State"
A total of 16 Autonomous Communities, in addition to the Autonomous Cities of Ceuta and Melilla, have signed a joint document recalling that the Framework Statute for Health Service Personnel is a State norm and that its adoption, modification and development is the sole responsibility of the Ministry of Health.
In the text, the signatory administrations stress that the origin of the current call for a strike at the State level lies precisely in the content and processing of this rule, so that the resolution of the conflict is at the State level, since the Ministry has the regulatory capacity to respond to the demands made by the medical community.
The Communities stress that while they are responsible for the organization and provision of health care, they are dealing with the care and organisational consequences of a debate that is not rooted in their competences, ensuring that measures are being taken to ensure continuity of health care and to minimise the impact on the population.
The document also notes that the adoption by the Council of Ministers of the text ofthe Framework Statute has not, in its view, served to close the conflict, as evidenced by the maintenance of the call for a strike, a situation which theCommunities consider to be evidence of a lack of agreement with medical professionals and which requires the immediate opening of a process of "real, effective and constructive" dialogue.
They also warn that the crisis comes at a particularly difficult time for the health system, marked by the structural deficit of professionals, the increase in retirements, the ageing population and the increasing timing of diseases, and therefore call on the Ministry of Health to promote structural and sustainable measures over time, to strengthen the availability of health personnel and to ensure the sustainability of the system.
Signatory communities
The administrations that have supported the letter include the Basque Country, Catalonia, Galicia, Andalusia, Asturias, Cantabria, La Rioja, Murcia, Comunidad Valenciana, Aragón, Castilla-La Mancha, Canarias, Navarra, Extremadura, Balearic Islands, Madrid, Castilla y León, and Ceuta and Melilla.
