Opposition parties this Wednesday criticized the government for the current situation with the National Health Service, with the PS remaining isolated in defense of the current policy, and the executive branch lamenting the alarm caused by this speech.
At the end of a government address scheduled by BE on the theme “People Deserve + SNS”, the Minister of Health expressed regret that these criticisms from the opposition scare people and are not true, saying that pregnant women and children continue to receive medical help “safely” in social networks.
“What I have heard here many times is frightening and not true,” said Margarida Tavares, assuring MPs that the government is developing “extremely profound changes” in terms of user access to SNS.
For the BE who closed the debate was the leader of the parliament, Pedro Filipe Soares, who sharply criticized the absence of Health Minister Manuel Pizarro from the debate for “doing the same thing he did two months ago” during visits.
“What was so new, so inevitable, that prevented a minister from being in parliament? Unwillingness to discuss the state of the SNA with parliament,” he asked, believing that “the main blow to the SNA is the politics” of this government. PS, the reason that makes the law and private business “applaud”.

Throughout the debate, it was the PS, as well as the government, that had to defend the policy pursued in the face of a chorus of criticism from various parliamentary benches.
Socialist MP Paulo Márquez said the energy is focused “on rebuilding what was not done” during the pandemic years and on “continuing to transform and improve what already exists”, ensuring PS’s commitment to the social network is “irreversible”.
For the PSD, Rui Cristina presented the SNS, which exists “outside of government propaganda”, given that “it is not surprising that in desperation, the SNS executive leadership has come to enact a law on congestion in public hospitals.
The Social Democrats, who announced the presentation of a set of initiatives to strengthen the SNS, again rose to the podium of Parliament thanks to the voice of Antonio Malo de Abreu, who began by recommending the use of the public health service.
Recalling that “the one who changed this government’s diapers was the BE and the PCP”, the SDP MP said that these two former ruse partners “cannot be exonerated” in the current socialist executive branch.
Despite refusing to talk about the disaster in the SNS, but only about problems and inequalities, Malo de Abreu called for a “genuine and genuine strengthening of the SNS” and warned that “the time has come to fulfill the word given” by the PS.
IL, in the voice of Joana Cordeiro, accused BE of not presenting alternatives and continuing to “insist on the same as always,” since the priority of the blockers “instead of the people is their state ideology.”
“IL’s priority is people. IL protects social networks,” he assured.
Pedro Frazao from Chega gave two practical examples of difficulties in accessing social networks and resorted to the expression used by the Secretary of State.
“Her lifesaver is there: it is the PS Parliamentary Group, it has an absolute majority, and no one will forgive her if she does not solve her health problems,” he warned.
The PKP, through João Dias, defended that “it is required that the government no longer take SNS from the people”, criticizing that it “gives SNS to private groups” and that the government is following “the same recipe”. “, which would apply the right head.
Livre’s deputy, Rui Tavares, argued that funds from the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) should be used to create new valences in the SNS and that the government should ensure that “the end of underfunding remains” in the sector in the coming years. .
PAN MP Ines de Souza Real asked the Secretary of State about solutions to the “serious problem” of users “waiting all night” to make an appointment at the medical center, and how the right to health would be implemented. guaranteed as “next summer in Lisbon and the Tagus Valley, 42% of pediatric emergency departments will not be open 24/7”.
