The former Minister of Health during SYRIZA, Panagiotis Kouroumblis, made an incredible confession that there were VIP beds in hospitals during SYRIZA, in the context of his confrontation with the New Democracy MP Konstantinos Kyranakis, on the ART television station, according to an announcement by K. Kyranakis.
“This is something that has been happening over time,” said the SYRIZA spokesman – going out of line with his party – a fact that provoked the reaction of Konstantinos Kyranakis, who asked him if these were done during his own term.
“What was complained about the ICUs will be judged by Justice. Mr. Giannakos’s accusations against the Minister of Health are serious. Not everyone can say that he wants without consequences. If your opinion is that these things were done over time, then they were done. “Mr. Giannakos said that there are vacant ICUs for VIPs. Were there any during your term? This is what Mr. Kouroublis just told us,” said the New Democracy MP.
Panagiotis Kouroumblis stated that he proposed himself as a defense lawyer for the president of POEDIN, Michalis Giannakou, but did not answer whether the latter accepted the specific proposal. The above provoked the strong reaction of the ND MP, who persistently asked what he said constituted “admission for VIP ICU” during the term of the former minister, who clarified that “what I said concerns the simple beds”.
“Health spending has increased”
Konstantinos Kyranakis also stood by the numbers, emphasizing that health expenditures have increased compared to the past, without counting the money for the coronavirus. As he pointed out, the regular expenditures for the Ministry of Health amount to 4.52 billion in 2022 compared to 4.27 in 2021, ie increased by 250 million euros, while in 2018 the SYRIZA government had a lower percentage of expenditures on GDP than in 2014.
“Expenditures without emergency coronavirus are high. These are the facts. You have the audacity to wave your finger. You are ridiculous. Ask the Greeks if they think the health system was better than Kouroubli and Polakis. If yes, I will answer in the affirmative.” “I will go out to resign. We have strengthened with 12,000 doctors and nurses”, the New Democracy MP pointed out.
