Dr. TELLES expressed concern over all the indiscriminate cuts that are being implemented in the public health “ in the heat of the crisis ” because “ can damage the image of our health care system ”. A system which, although it needs corrections and adjustments, “ is not expensive ”, since that expenditure per inhabitant per year is around 1,500 euros, a figure lower than that of other countries, however, offer worse quality care to its citizens. Similarly, noted that our national health system “ is very well appreciated internationally ”, so called again for the validity of the model, so “ the debate must be open to re-examine specific issues, not to challenge the system itself ”.

However, it also clarified that our public health has obvious imperfections, since it suffers from an unnecessary “ hospitalocentrismo ” and also faces a challenging present and future, as it is the quality of care of the chronically ill.

In question time, it also felt obliged to prescribe generics not only does not harm the patient, that also means considerable savings in expenditure on pharmaceutical, a disbursement which Spain outstrips other countries in its environment as Germanyfor example.

In this sense, he also mentioned the desirability of including in university programs of medical courses to provide training to students in health management.

Only three CC.AA may be exempt from problems in the payment of medicines.

Only three CC.AA may be exempt from problems in the payment of medicines.

according to the Spanish Agency of Administration tax.

-only Asturias, the Canary Islands and the Basque country appear as potential “ exempted from liquidity problems ” in the report of the AEAT

-surge in spending in the month of August before the entry of new reduced prices

-declines in spending and average price shall very charged from the turnover of November, month in which will affect the actions of the RDL 9, 2011

Madrid, October 2011.- an estimate of possible liquidity problems in the different autonomous communities, the upturn in spending and a comparison between the different regions from the point of view of regional GDP spent on the purchase of medicines by recipesthey are the most relevant topics of the Observatory of the medicinal product drawn up by the Business Federation of Spanish pharmaceutical (FEFE) and referred to the month of August.

The main problem of many autonomous communities continues to be the payment of the invoice of medicines, as had been already revealed in Castile-la Mancha, Balearic Islands, Valencia, la Rioja, Catalonia and Navarre, not that can be ruled out a widespread situation of defaults in most parts of the country in the last months of the year. only three CC.AA, Asturias, Canary Islands and the Basque country appear as possible free from liquidity problems, as she was demonstrated in a follow-up in the collection of the Spanish Agency for tax administration (AEAT).

In this sense, the proposal by FEFE and regional federations of businessmen pharmaceutical to make the Government who support the collection of the debt owed by the CC.AA has already been submitted to the Council of Ministers. The endorsements made by the State in the past two years to shipping companies, cars or credit have taken as a precedent.

spending accumulated until August

in the jackpot of the months of January and August this year, the number of recipes grows a 2.75%; spending drops a 9,15% and average prescription spending drops a 11,59%.

The trend of decline in expenditure and the average price of prescriptions happens in August to be positive. The number of recipes increases slightly, as already occurred in July, which proves something FEFE comes highlighting permanently: does not act on the demand side.

Forecasts in the short term, although they show a growth of indicators cannot be attributed more than an occasional phenomenon, probably influenced by the price changes, so it is not easy to keep in the months of September and October, still with a predictable recovery or stabilisation in the growth of the number of recipes.

Autonomous communities by

Spending increases in August in new communities and autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla. The largest increases are recorded in Cantabria (+ 3.89%); Castilla the spot (+ 3.35 per cent) and Madrid (+ 3.0). The biggest declines occur in Galicia (- 5.69%); Aragon (- 2.91%); Murcia (- 2.45%) and La Rioja (- 2.10%).

New groupings of medicines

In the review of the key figures of the lists published by the Ministry of health, we can observe that all medications funded in 3.139 groupings, including 212 groupings of medicines under patent and their licenses have been classified. Voluntary price cuts exclusively concerning generic medicines included in reference prices have also been published. Of these declines, there are more than 400 that are denied because “ the asking price is equal to or greater than the current price of marketing ” although there are other less common types of denial which include medications that are in some cases in “ unsubscribe from marketing ”, for what was to be hoped that changes occur in the published lists.

Differences in consumption

Also in this Observatory have been compared the differences between the various CC.AA from the point of view of regional GDP spent on the purchase of medicines by recipes and total expenditure “ per capita ” medicines. Employing a greater proportion of their GDP in medicines are Extremadura, Castile-La Mancha, Galicia and Murcia. Those that are less country Basque, the Balearic Islands and Madrid, where occurs lower GDP spending on drugs. From the point of view of expenditure in euros per capita there are some differences that have to do surely with the number of staff and the population over 65 years of age. The average of GDP spent on payment of the recipes is 1.05%, much lower than at other times he came to be 1.5%; and the average expenditure in euros is currently in 243 euros with a wide dispersal that Galicia spend 308 EUR and Madrid only 186 euros per person.

forecast

though to continue spending and average price declines forecasts short-term – September and October – indicate that these will not be as bulky as compared to months in those who have already acted RRs.DD.LL 4 and 8 (2010) in the previous year, situation that will be very pronounced from the turnover of November which affect also measures the RDL 9, 2011.
