Health The doctors of Madrid resume the strike while the countdown continues in the negotiations of six other CCAAs to avoid strikes
Time trial.
This is how several of the regional health administrations are negotiating to avoid the doctors' strikes scheduled for next week.
Others have already practically reached an agreement, and in some, such as the case of
Madrid
, the conveners are waiting to resume increasingly entrenched conversations.
In this autonomous community,
the Amyts medical union, the central promoter of the indefinite strike in primary care that
began in November, suspended at Christmas and resumed again, has requested a crash plan to refloat the critical situation that this level of care is experiencing.
At the same time, he has invited the Ministry of Health to hold a new meeting in order to unblock the strikes of family doctors and pediatricians.
According to what has transpired,
the Ministry would have accepted part of the demands raised, such as limiting daily consultations to Family doctors to 35 patients and to 25 in the case of pediatricians and an incentive system
for those who see more patients on their shift or in extension of the day.
However, the council assures that it will not give in to the request for a linear increase of 470 euros and criticizes that the Amyts strike committee has
changed its demands
to call off the strike.
From the plant they await the call from the Administration to resume negotiations and from the regional government, in the words of Enrique Ossorio, vice president and spokesman for the regional Executive, that new meeting will be called
"where appropriate" to try to reach an agreement
.
The Doctors of Catalonia
union
(MC) maintains, for now, the two days of
strike for the days 25 and 26 of January
.
This Wednesday a meeting with the Administration was scheduled, which the union hoped would be a "true negotiating meeting of the demands raised" and "forceful and concrete" measures were expected, they point out from MC.
The organization was confident that said meeting would be sufficiently productive and a step forward in resolving the
serious problems of care overload and lack of personnel
that public service users also suffer.
In the case of the
Valencian Community
, the CESM-CV medical union has decided to
postpone the strike that it had called for this week
.
The reason, according to the center itself, is that they did not want to contribute to the care chaos that is produced by the epidemiological situation at the moment.
They maintain the negotiation with the Ministry of Health but have
planned strikes on the first Monday of the months of March, April and May.
In
Aragon
, the CESM and Fasamet medical unions and the Aragonese Health Service reached an agreement yesterday, after defining a document that includes the measures agreed between both parties to improve primary care.
With this,
the strikes scheduled for the 23rd and 24th
of this month have been called off, reports Javier Ortega.
In the absence of specifying in a document the principle of agreement reached with the Department of Health of the Government of Aragon, the unions consider that the main demands of the list of claims presented by the professionals have been admitted.
This is the
first global and specific agreement in Aragon
on Primary Care, which
includes issues that had not been regulated until now
and covers all organizational aspects.
The main points refer to
limiting the schedules of family doctors to 35 patients and those of pediatricians to 28
;
guarantee rural doctors breaks after on-call days;
progressively increase the global budget (until reaching 25% of the total resources allocated to Health);
and
create a specific management separate from hospital care
.
The
Extremadura Medical Union
(Simex)
keeps alive the strike call
for next week (January 26 and 27), although it keeps the negotiation with the Administration open and positions have been approached, according to the union's general secretary, María Jose Rodriguez Villalon.
The work overload (they denounce that each doctor treats about 70 patients a day) due to the lack of personnel
and the "delicate" situation of public health in Extremadura, focus their claims
In the case of
Andalusia
, there are two medical unions that have called strikes: the Union of Physicians and Primary Care Physicians (SMP), recently created and without representation on the sectoral table, which maintains the strike for this Friday, January 20 , and the Andalusian Medical Union (SMA), the majority among the doctors and at the negotiating table, which has scheduled it for next January 27.
The Minister of Health of the Junta de Andalucía, Catalina García, has indicated that they "continue negotiating" with the SMA and that she hopes that these
conversations "will allow the call for a strike not to be reached,
" reports
Europa Press.
Finally, in
Navarra
, the Medical Union (SMN) plans to hold assemblies these days so that the physicians themselves decide
what to do with the strike initially scheduled for February 13 and which was proposed to be brought forward to the 1st of that month.
.
For now, an assembly has only been held at the University Hospital of Navarra where they have decided to bring it forward to February 1 as the negotiations with the Department of Health did not bear fruit, reports
