The NHS chief executive admitted on Wednesday he needed data to assess the reform of local health departments and understand the adjustments needed, and promised to recruit the “best people possible” to boards.
“It has been a huge transformation (…), but without understanding how it is happening, it is very difficult to assess what will happen,” said António Gandra D’Almeida, who was heard this Wednesday by the Parliamentary Committee on Health, in response to a question from the PS, on social hospitalizations.
Asked about the reform of the local health units (ULS), he said it was necessary to collect data, giving the system time to “adapt to new realities” and “integrate different services”, from primary care to hospital structures.
“Of course there will be areas for improvement,” the official acknowledged, adding: “We are on the side of the solution.”
