Catalan Ombudman sees inappropriate hospital drug co-payment for the
chronically ill |

The
Catalan Ombudsman considers that the measure will not be a deterrent with
regard to the acquisition of drugs of the chronically ill. He also warns
that such measure threatens the access to medication for patients who
belong to groups with serious economic difficulties. Rafael Ribó has
transferred to the Spanish Ombudsman a series of considerations about the
new co-payment so that the Spanish Ombudsman can act in front of the
Spanish Government.
