The emepepista deputy Lucía Etchverry will be responsible for calling the Minister of Public Health to the courtroom. Daniel Salinas, to ask about the “actions of the portfolio regarding the effective exercise of the role of the essential functions of public health, stewardship and health police.”
You will also be asked for explanations about the general situation of the General Integrated Health System; control over the comprehensive health providers that comprise it and particular monitoring of the operation of the State Health Services Administration (ASSE). The call had 92 votes in 94 deputies present during the session last Wednesday, May 3.
The call to the general committee will take place on Tuesday, May 10, starting at 10 am.
The coordinator of the Broad Front caucus, Gustavo Olmos (Fuerza Renovadora) told Diario La R that it was initially managed to make the call on the 18th, a date that was ruled out because Salinas plans to leave the country. The calls in the general commission system have no political consequences, unlike the interpellations. However, they require a high special majority, while the interpellations require a minimum number of legislators that the FA has.
