Speaking to the media in Paterna, Sanz labeled the healthcare plan presented by the socialist candidate in Cádiz as "daring." The popular leader in the province recalled that Montero, during her tenure, was responsible for the loss of 7,773 healthcare professionals and a budget cut of 1,590 million euros in Andalusian public healthcare between 2010 and 2018.
Furthermore, Sanz pointed out that the former Minister of Finance reduced healthcare workers' salaries by 4%, eliminated 800 hospital beds, and caused average waiting times to reach 176 days. In the province of Cádiz, over 50% of healthcare assistance relies on private agreements, a situation the popular candidate attributes to socialist management.
“"Her track record of destruction in healthcare disqualifies her, and one must be daring and have few scruples to propose measures like those she committed to yesterday."
The PP candidate also questioned how the socialist leader now intends to "give lessons on healthcare" and whether she plans to hide waiting lists again, as he claims she did as a counselor, concealing 500,000 Andalusians from healthcare waiting lists.
Similarly, Sanz criticized Montero for proposing measures already underway in Andalucía, such as 10-minute patient care in Primary Care, which, in his view, demonstrates her lack of understanding of Andalusian reality. He lamented the left's electoral campaign, which seeks to discredit Andalusian public healthcare and constantly attack its professionals.
In contrast, Sanz defended the current Andalusian Government's management, highlighting a record investment of 16,200 million euros in healthcare, an increase of 1,000 million in just one year, and a 69% rise since the beginning of Juanma Moreno Bonilla's government. He mentioned the "historic agreement" with unions after 20 years without professional career development, the employment pool, the difficult coverage decree, and the offer of 10,500 public employment positions.
Finally, Sanz emphasized the Andalusian Government's commitment to Vocational Training (FP), considering it a strategic priority for generating employment and meeting the needs of the productive sector. He highlighted the growth in FP offerings, with new training cycles and a focus on Dual FP, as well as increased resources and investment in infrastructure and technological equipment.
