The parliamentary spokesperson for Nueva Canarias-Bloque Canarista (NC-BC), Luis Campos, reproached the president of the Government of CC and the PP, Fernando Clavijo, for keeping the director of the Canarian Health Service (SCS), Adasat Goya, in office after having used personal health data to attack NC-BC deputy Yoné Caraballo in parliament. The spokesperson for the progressive nationalist group denounced that "every minute that Adasat Goya remains at the head of the SCS is an indignity for the Canary Islands." He accused Clavijo of protecting an "indignified and immoral" conduct that puts citizens' trust in the Canarian public health system at risk.
In the control session, the parliamentary spokesperson for NC-BC questioned the head of the Executive for looking the other way in the face of an event that Luis Campos described as "deeply undignified and immoral."
"Every minute that Mr. Adasat Goya remains at the head of the main health institution of the Canary Islands is an indignity for the institution itself, an indignity for its Government, an indignity for all Canarian men and women, and, of course, for all professionals and users of the Canarian Health Service."
The parliamentary spokesperson for NC-BC retorted to Clavijo that the serious issue is not the origin of the personal information, but the "use that was made" of it. As Campos argued, what was relevant was not whether the data was public or not. "What is undignified, what is miserable, is using personal information," in addition to the "most sensitive" area, such as health, to "politically attack" a parliamentarian.
In this case, Yoné Caraballo in the opposition, in the exercise of his responsibility to oversee and in the face of the SCS's "lack" of data on waiting lists. "I use the personal attack, where it hurts the most," the parliamentary spokesperson for Nueva Canarias censured, to try to do "the greatest possible damage, to try to humiliate, to try to coerce."
He insisted that Adasat Goya "already demonstrated his incompetence and disastrous" management as manager of the Canary Islands University Hospital and denounced that Clavijo, "in gratitude, not only did not correct him, but promoted him to manage all the hospitals and health centers of the Archipelago."
Luis Campos denounced that Goya's serious behavior and his remaining in charge of the SCS or another responsibility in the Canary Islands' public administration crosses all ethical lines because he is the highest health authority in the Canary Islands, who "should be most concerned about the confidentiality of data and respect for patients."
For NC-BC, this is not a political debate or a parliamentary confrontation. "We are talking about the trust of all citizens in the public health system," he maintained.
Luis Campos stated that, if President Clavijo does not act immediately, he will be "the one who bears the political responsibility" for keeping in office someone who has demonstrated not only incompetence, but an absolute lack of institutional decency.
