The last 11 day of February took place the Assembly of the Platform for Public Health which was attended by a large number of people including colleagues from other platforms, Valencia, Alicante, politicians, representatives of health workers, They claimed that Health is once again public. From the Platform fight because "The Marina Alta is not discriminated again as it was 10 years ago when Health was privatized."
In the Assembly they expressed the total lack of transparency and participation of the Department, "Since there is talk of buying shares, public company, but there is nothing official, just news from the press." For this reason, the Platform has requested a meeting directly with the President of the Generalitat Valenciana through the Xarxa de Alcaldes and to know the situation.
At the meeting, attendees had the testimony of a professional from the Department of La Ribera after the management reversal, "The Ministry has hired in less than a year more than 400 workers, all of them by the Ministry of Labor itself, and has made an investment of more than 7'8 million euros in order to improve equipment and infrastructure. In addition, the Department of La Ribera, through the direct management of the Department is fully integrated into the public health network, with all the guarantees that this entails. "
From the Platform they claim that "It seems that the plans of the Ministry for the region of the Marina Alta
They are very different. He plans to create a public company and everything remains the same, but La Marina Alta will not settle for a half-way solution. We are going to fight for a real and total reversal, with direct management of the Conselleria,
with full integration in the public health network, with contracts by bag of all the professionals that are needed to alleviate the multiple deficiencies that we have been supporting for years, and without the spending limits imposed on public companies that prevent an investment similar to the that has been done in the Department of La Ribera ".
