Almost one million signatures to demand the cessation of the health plan

The health minister Madrid, Javier Fernández-Lasquetty (Madrid, 1966), has achieved something unprecedented: to agree to many of the health community in Madrid against its reform, including privatization of the management of six hospitals and 27 centers health. He says that will not back down, even strikes or protests that physicians do. And he argues that private management is more efficient.
Question. Do you really believe that health professionals when people lie to explain why they are on strike?
Response. Anyone who now tell people that healing is sold, is privatized, it will cease to be free and will charge knowingly lying.
P. But management is privatized hospitals.
R. No, privatizing hospitals would sell and give them to the private sector to manage them as he saw fit. What we are doing is outsourcing the management, ie a public hospital owned.
P. In the dictionary of the RAE outsource and privatize no means exactly the same of what we're talking about. Why does not like that word?
R. Because misleading to think that will become private hospitals. Will remain public hospitals.
P. That people know, right?
"It is not privatization. What we do is to outsource "
R. Right now they're wanting people to think that healing will be private. Just look at the slogans of the demonstrations or the banners. It will not become private healthcare. It is public, yes, entrusted to manage a concession.
P. That's what he criticizes the healthcare community. The contrary has all beginning with the College of Physicians, scientific societies ... Still think you're all wrong and you are right?
R. I will not judge the motives or the reasons that lead them to adopt that attitude. If I say that the health sector, like any large organization, it is very inertial. There is a component of resistance or inertia against change. What I know is what is my responsibility and that of the Government. If next year to have 530 million less in the budget, we continue to have health care of the highest quality, obviously with the rules of universal, free, equity, we have to work differently.
P. It assumes that public health officials are inefficient. But you're the boss. Is not that admitting failure as a manager?
R. The payroll of any public employee are full of accessories that were born to encourage or reward the work of excellence and immediately became very linear and equal additions for all. And that happened for decades and party to party. Public administration has a stiffness that is about the necessary reform of the civil service in Spain, but that's another issue.
P. About a month ago, and opposition press asked independent studies or economic data to justify that the chosen model is more efficient and higher quality. Do you? Why does not the public?
"In healthcare there is inertia or resistance to change"
R. Yes, yes, yes, and we have to make public. Today we have presented a study of a consultant [Iasist] to compare results from hospitals direct and indirect management, and gives very similar results to those we have obtained. Indicators of quality of care are very similar, or identical. And the budgetary cost is significantly lower.
P. Why has launched a reform of this magnitude without consulting the professionals?
R. On many of the issues on the plan had been talking over the last two years. Then comes a time, in summer, it communicates to the Community of Madrid which has 1,000 million lower and the deficit limit is 0.8%, which requires an adjustment of 2.700 million. And that has consequences.
P. Today [for yesterday] have delivered almost one million signatures against the reform. Will you listen? Are there any turning back?
R. I always listen. What we are asking the regional government is to do nothing, is that having a lower budget, wanting to maintain the level of quality, we do as Zapatero, that is, as if nothing had happened, to let this sink, which is what he did with Spain. That I'm not going to do, because I seem to be irresponsible.
P. If you read the petition, you see that what you are asking it to withdraw the plan of action ...
R. In other words, do nothing.
"I remind you that we are the government supported by 53% of the locals"
P. ... And discuss with professionals before taking other measures agreed.
R. These other measures ... to me love to hear any proposal that I do to reduce costs while maintaining the quality and characteristics of the system. Anyone, I do not need 900,000, come with me one with a proposal the look with greater interest.
P. Then I could remove the pending plan to talk to ...
R. In all, at all.
P. Where is the negotiation then?
R. If there is no negotiation possible. The negotiation is that we will talk about how to do something or apply. I remind you that we are the government supported by 53% of the locals.
P. In its election manifesto did not speak to privatize the management of public hospitals.
R. No, but our program was not an anticipation that we would reduce regional funding at 1,000 million euros.
P. Did you molested central government's response to its announcement euro per prescription, with Catalonia more aggressive?
"You're asking me to do nothing and that is irresponsible"
R. Well, I have not bothered. I would have preferred another course. What I find is that we have a budgetary situation that forces us to take action as the euro prescription, we think that goes absolutely within our competence. The tax collection rate is not so much as a deterrent.
P. For the first time a PP government closes a hospital, the Institute of Cardiology.
R. No, not a hospital, is a healthcare unit that came from the National College of Chest Studio. He was doing a job support, had no reference population and believe will be most effective in integrating the Hospital.
P. The hospital considers Ministry [official website changed to remove the word hospital days after its closure was known] in all its publications.
R. We're not talking about a hospital.
