Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa argues that there must be a more permanent policy for health and as such there must be a “national agreement or regime”, otherwise, management becomes merely “casuistic.
In a long intervention this afternoon at ISCTE, in which he is expected to talk about the situation of the minister, Ana Paula Martins, the President of the Republic pointed for the need of an “agreement tend to be national or regime” already health, with a clear definition of the components of the health system, public, private and social. The intention, said Marcelo, is to give stability and definition to the system “para que cada Government que entre não entre com uma polintica de saúde. There is no policyhealthI called itand hold on.”
In practice, the President stressed, without this definition, there will be “emergency plans” behind “emergency plans”, with “casuistic” “short-term” decisions.
Then he asks: “What do we want for the SNS? EIn what terms do you directly manage or interconnect with other sectors? And what remains to others? One no option is option of leave to casuistry of the evolution of events! Then it becomes empty filled by others.”
