BARCELONA, 28 (EUROPA PRESS)
The Catalan Health Institute (ICS) has been finalized negotiations with health care unions of the sectoral table – medical in Catalonia (MC), CC.OO, UGT, SATSE and CATAC – considering that “it is over time” to achieve an agreement that might be effective this year.
“It has not been possible to reached majority to facilitate a closure balanced in the financial year 2011”, it has been claimed Monday the ICS through a press release, in reference to the impossibility of “material time” of a consensus to cut the salary of the sanitary 40,000 comprising the network public health.
In addition, the ICS has warned that it would take “the measures strictly necessary to comply with the budgetary allocation” until the end of the year, adding that he will do with the desire to influence the minimum possible in health care activity and the overall volume of the template.
Onwards, the health of the ICS workers will undergo negotiations opened so far in the sectoral table for negotiation of health step, from November 30, the Bureau General of negotiation of the role public of the Generalitat, where the working conditions for staff members will be negotiated and statutory next year.
The latest proposal of the ICS was going through the reduction of 25% of payroll Christmas extra, rather than 50% of the initial forecast, but the absence of guarantees in writing that there would be no dismissal of interim template nor new salary next year cuts has prevented the signing of the agreements, according to the unions.
In a hearing prior to the breakdown of the negotiation, the Minister of health of the Generalitat, Boi Ruiz, pointed out that an absence of agreement would work managers to prevent a budget deviation next year, and urged the necessity of a Covenant.
Health of the agreed cuts ELUDIRÃN new
However, ensured that the health of the agreed that have already made an effort to pay this year – with agreements at its centres – will not suffer a new crop next year, so it shall be exempt from the negotiations carried out in the table of function public.
El ICS approved in may, a reduction of 9.6 per cent of its budget on the end of the previous year, despite the rejection of UGT, doctors of Catalonia (MC), the Association of municipalities of Catalonia and the abstention of CC.OO, and at the end of September announced its willingness to cut 45 million euros in personnel and salaries.
The ICS, which manages eight major hospitals and 450 primary care (CAP), intended to thus reduce by up to EUR 75 million budget.
