PP Regions Refuse To Share Cancer-Screening Data as Minister Threatens Legal Action

The clash stems from a data request issued after failures in Andalusia’s breast cancer screening program.

Overview

  • Health Minister Mónica García accused the withholding regions of trying to hide poor results and said the government will use available legal and administrative tools to obtain the information.
  • Galicia formally refused in a letter, citing political motives and asserting that the ministry lacks a functioning IT platform to collect and process standardized data.
  • El País reported that PP headquarters in Génova coordinated the shared stance among regional governments, though the party maintains each region set its own response.
  • Madrid’s health chief, Fátima Matute, said she will not send data because she believes it would be manipulated for partisan purposes.
  • Andalusia diverged from most PP regions by pledging cooperation and requesting an extraordinary Interterritorial Health Council meeting to address screening programs.
