The hearing of the Minister of Health began without Marta Temido’s voice being heard. Not because the minister was absent from Parliament, but because she opted for her secretaries of state to respond to the first two questions posed by two of the parties that requested her presence, Chega and PCP. Only in the third, when the Liberal Initiative deputy intervenes, the third to request an audience with the minister, Marta Temido begins to respond to the deputies of the Health Commission.
They were not immediate, but during the hearing (more than three hours) some responses came from the Ministry of Education team to the issues that made up the day’s agenda. EITHER The National Health Service will soon receive 270 new family doctors, Mortality spikes that have no obvious explanation will need a long investigation, 5 to 10 years, to know if it is a one-off case or not, and the response to cancer patients is already recovering from the delays suffered during the pandemic. Despite this, the minister minimized the lack of response to these patients, since the cancer treatment units were not diverted to the treatment of Covid-19 patients.
