The revelation was made by the Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, to the Matchless on SKAI in the morning, shortly before the press conference on the measures to deal with illegal prescriptions, in which he said he would reveal other such “bass”.
The Minister of Health stated that more than 100 different doctors have been identified with excessive prescriptions, he stated that checks are being carried out, doctors are called to an apology while some cases have already been sent to the financial prosecutor and the financial prosecutor because, as he said, in addition to fines, there will also be criminal sanctions.
In the press conference given at this time, Adonis Georgiadis announced that “bass” will be revealed, the first but several findings of “doctors who overprescribe drugs to steal money”.
Referring to the case of the doctor who was fined a huge amount, he said: “Yesterday a doctor was fined 800,000 because he was non-stop prescribing medicines and executing them in the same pharmacy. He was writing them to his mother. He took AMKA, he wrote that they were coming to his head.”
When asked why the doctors do this, the Minister of Health replied that they do it to take the medicines and sell them.
“We’re going to get a lot of bass today,” he said and added: “To send a message that because of the sophisticated systems it’s stupid for some doctors to continue to do these things. We have many systems, the check will be done retrospectively. We’re going backwards too, stop doing that. We see from the systems in which pharmacy a prescription is executed, to which AMKA it is written.”
As for the damage to the state from this practice, Adonis Georgiadis said that “it is estimated that at least 50 million medicines are prescribed for the EOPYY without need. If this is done for 10 years, calculate that it is 500 million euros”.
Georgiadis: The free afternoon surgeries start in mid-November – The procedure that will be followed
From the middle of November, the free afternoon surgeries will start in the public hospitals, as the Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, told SKAI. Referring to how the procedure will be done, he said that the Hospitals themselves will contact the patients who are on a waiting list from 4 months to a year, from the one who waits the longest to the least, in order to book the surgery appointment.
How many do the free afternoon surgeries apply to?
As Mr. Georgiadis said, the free afternoon surgeries concern 37,500 operations. It is a very large number and if these surgeries are carried out, they will reduce the waiting time in the surgeries and clear the lists. People waiting more than six months on waiting lists are 65,000.
Regarding the OENGE hospital doctors’ strike, Mr. Georgiadis said: “All that they are asking for, wage increases and hiring, the government is already doing.”
Regarding the problems and shortcomings observed in the National Health System, Mr. Georgiadis emphasized that “today the NHS works better than ever, for example most hospitals no longer have ranches”.
