Overview
- Madrid socialists asked the prosecutor to investigate CEO Pablo Gallart after leaked recordings linked him to instructions to reject patients and reverse waiting‑list reductions.
- The complaint cites possible crimes of administrative malfeasance, business corruption, offenses against public health, and denial of services based on discrimination.
- PSOE-M requests that any additional individuals identified during the investigation be included as potential defendants.
- The regional health minister met Ribera Salud’s president to demand explanations, said the clips could be out of context, and reported an inspection found no irregularities in service provision.
- Regional leader Isabel Díaz Ayuso criticized the timing, arguing the campaign against Madrid’s health system sought to overshadow a national health strike over the Estatuto Marco.
