Scrutiny Needed!

A new private Family Health Unit opened in Torres Vedras, concessioned by the State, serving 5,463 users without a family doctor, while 19 similar units are in the process of opening, five in the Algarve. The article questions the transfer of responsibilities from the NHS to private operators, suggesting that the Ministry of Health was unable or unwilling to hire available doctors. It also mentions rumors, denied by the Minister, about the handover of ULS Algarve to the Union of Misericórdias, and warns of a "profound reformulation" of the NHS without the necessary democratic scrutiny, recalling that PSD voted against the creation of the service in 1979 and that a 1982 decree-law on the NHS was declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court.
