The total debt unsuccessful (over 90 days) of the Portuguese National Health Service amounted to 908 million euros at the end of September. The bulk (727 million) is the responsibility of corporate public hospitals, which constitute about ninety percent of hospitals in Portugal in financial size and number of beds.
It was to "get over the fact that hospitals do not pay on time" and "inject liquidity into the economy" at a time of crisis that the government decided to extend and enable the fund to support payments from the National Health Service (never used despite the existence since 2006).
Hospitals SPA and central services will result in a reallocation of funds, including transfers between deactivations and programs - using, for example, money that this year (2008) on the oral health programs and medically assisted procreation.

It is absolutely shameful that the current team from the Ministry of Health to "hide" the oral health programs, thus taking advantage of dividends to pay off debts of poor management, while denying oral health treatment to hundreds of thousands of Portuguese people, especially children and adolescents, keeping them in a permanent ignorance concerning their health needs.
Message to the Minister of Health: after all, promises politically correct to actually going to a large container; absolutely demagogue this evolution of oral health policy in Portugal.
At least to send this message to the Socialist Youth to also remember, in Parliament, who really need our children in schools.
