Overview
- The PP sent a written veto to the Assembly's Mesa to stop Más Madrid’s requested commission on Ribera Salud’s oversight at the publicly funded hospital.
- The veto will go to a plenary vote, where the PP’s absolute majority would prevent the inquiry from being formed.
- Más Madrid’s plan envisioned a cross-party panel of three deputies per group reporting by June 2026 on audits, supervision, and resource allocation.
- The initiative followed audio published by El País in which Ribera Salud CEO Pablo Gallart urged managers to increase waiting lists and avoid unprofitable patients.
- The regional government previously deployed auditors who reported no management problems, as Más Madrid pursues a criminal complaint alleging six offences before the Madrid prosecutor.
