Health Counselor Alberto Martinez informs the Minister of Health by letter that he will leave the Interterritorial Council
Martinez has reiterated that this decision is due to Espinia's refusal to assess the knowledge of the Basque Country in the MIR call and the contribution that Euskadi must make to the Cohesion Financing Information System (SIFCO) for the care of patients outside the community.
The Basque Government's Health Adviser, Alberto Martínez, has informed the Minister of Health, Monica García (Sumar), by letter, that he will not participate in the meetings of the Interterritorial Health Council.
In statements to the press after participating in an oncology or expert meeting in Bilbao, Martínez has reiterated that this decision is due to the refusal to assess the knowledge of the Basque Country in the MIR call and the contribution that the Basque Country must make to the Cohesion Financing Information System (SIFCO) for the care of patients outside the community.
With regard to the request to assess the Basque language at BAME, Martínez has indicated that it seeks the "entrenchment" of doctors, since half of the resident doctors in Basque hospitals are from another community and 70% of them leave at the end of their studies.
He mentioned that the aim is for Basque students to practice medicine in Basque and then to have priority in MIR in the Basque Country.
He believes that the assessment of the Basque language in the MIR is an option provided for in the law and the decree regulating it.
Martinez has assured that the Ministry has not responded to requests for amendments to the SIFCO and has refused to assess the Basque language at BAME.
The Chief Executive has stated that he "always" hopes that the Minister will "respond positively" to his letters and has assured him that from now on he will only participate in the meetings of the Interterritorial Health Council, which discuss European funds.
Martinez has said that the demonstrations against the Ministry called for the renewal of the Workers' Framework Statute "are not surprising" because, in his view, the Ministry does not have an attitude of "open dialogue", at least with the department it heads, and the Framework Statute requires "agreement and agreement" between all parties in public health.
