By 25 units – medium -sized – they have thrown the “clawback” into the Diagnostic Centers, the government’s measures, he said from the plenary step. Parliamentthe Minister of Health Adonis Georgiadis. Responding to a question from the KKE MP Maria Komninaka about the gaps at Lemnos Hospital, Mr Georgiadis said that yesterday the clawback details were released in the diagnostic laboratories of the first half of 2025, recalling that last year they had a strike. As he pointed out, the clawback 2024-2025 in diagnostic centers, with the measures voted by the ND alone, has been thrown to it “by twenty-five points of average. Whether you are shouting, or you are not shouting, the one who has a diagnostic center knows that he pays twenty -five points smaller clawback than he paid a year ago. So, the measures we take, work, no matter how much you shout. “
Responding to a MP’s report that they do not work the motives the government has set up to fill doctors’ positions in barren areas, he said: “The motives we established were by law that I voted for in the summer last year, July. They have been closed for just one year, and with a joint ministerial decision with the finance minister we issued it in September. Since then we have made three invitations where we have gathered all the positions that were barren at the Regional Hospitals for at least five years. We made them a basket. They were about three hundred in total. We took them out once, the second time, the third time.
In the last invitation that ended in May, the one we are now talking about where the two appointments are now being made, we had interest, that is, applications, that is, 82%in total.
That is, 82% of the positions that came out for five years of barren 100% have been filled. Do you understand that the measures we took are not working? Because I understand exactly the opposite, that they are working. You will tell me that we have not reached 100%. I want to be honest. I had no hope that I would reach 100%, because no policy is 100%. But it is a very high success rate and I am committed -and I have proven -that once the process of appointing this invitation is completed -by the end of July, it will be completed in all hospitals -as we return from a vacation in September we will be announced again. If at this pace we continue to cover positions, next year’s summer we will be much better than we are this year».
On the contrary, Mr. Georgiadis continued, “You have never recognized any of the opposition parties that the situation in the islands with gaps in hospitals last year to this year is much better. They have publicly admitted to trade unionists who do not like me, because the motives we have been working on are working».
For her part, Mrs Komninaka said that doctors’ shortages are forcing the islanders to leave directly in Athens or Thessaloniki, deeply putting his hand in his pocket, because, especially when they leave this way, travel is not covered. As for the notices of doctors’ positions in barren areas, he said: “But let’s see if they go. Because, you know, there are also complaints in other cases, such as with the agricultural physician of Atsian, who went with that he will find a home and this home is unstoppable and given that he will receive a allowance, but this is not given by the North Aegean Region.” He also said that all the posts are not announced, but there is a “sampling” call: “Of the three vacancies, one or all of the gaps of the Hospital are gradually announced here, one there and the doctor who goes know knows that he will over -day offshore” We invite you to try to proclaim all the vacant organic positions in the hospitals and discuss if they are fertile or barren, the KKE MP said.
