It´s been a month since the Valencian government took over the management of La Ribera Health Department. After almost 20 years of private management, on 1st April, La Ribera began a new stage of direct public management. There are many conclusions to be made about the whole situation, which I will discuss in future blog entries.

Alma pública
En las últimas semanas no he querido prodigarme mucho en los medios de comunicación porque los pronunciamientos públicos en contra de la colaboración público privada en sanidad me crean un desasosiego intelectual.
Las reflexiones de Jeremy Hunt
Hoy me gustaría compartir mi espacio de opinión con el Secretario de Estado para la Salud de Reino Unido, Jeremy Hunt, quien recientemente, en una jornada en Londres, ha hablado sobre la colaboración público privada en el sector sanitario poniendo como ejemplo práctico y ejemplo de éxito el modelo desarrollado por Ribera Salud. A continuación, puedes leer las referencias que hizo en su discurso a nuestro modelo de gestión:
“With smart metrics we can also be less prescriptive about models of care, allowing more space for local ingenuity and innovation. We need to move further and faster towards Valencia-style population-level commissioning with accountable care organisations or integrated care provision planned in Greater Manchester with DevoManc.”
Jeremy Hunt’s thoughts
Today I would like to give up my blog to the UK’s Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt, who has talked about our Model in a national event in London. You can find here a brief summary of his speech talking about Ribera’s health model:
“With smart metrics we can also be less prescriptive about models of care, allowing more space for local ingenuity and innovation. We need to move further and faster towards Valencia-style population-level commissioning with accountable care organisations or integrated care provision planned in Greater Manchester with DevoManc.”
