Overview
- EL PAÍS published internal SAS figures listing 2025 personnel reductions concentrated at six hospitals: Regional de Málaga (€25.4M), Virgen del Rocío–Seville (€25.3M), Virgen de las Nieves–Granada (€16.3M), Puerta del Mar–Cádiz (€12.6M), Ciudad de Jaén (€7.3M) and Juan Ramón Jiménez–Huelva (€4.2M).
- The Junta says there are no staff cuts or reduced care, citing a higher health allocation for 2025 (€16.2569B, +6.6%) and a contract-program increase of 0.8%, plus growth in structural headcount this year.
- President Juanma Moreno touts plans to add 4,370 health workers and a goal to stabilize 96% of SAS staff, while the Health Ministry announces a 2025 competitive offer of 10,289 positions.
- Unions and opposition question allocations, pointing to fewer substitutions and vacancies left open, a reported 21.5% rise this year in outsourcing to private providers, and new demonstrations called across Andalusian capitals.
- Hospital sources report service strain, including delayed diagnostics in some cases over a year and saturated emergencies, as Málaga’s Regional Hospital secured a management commitment to cover vacancies after a threatened strike.
