With 42,590 million euros that the Bank of Spain gives for lost public health spending would grow by 61%.

The  Bank of Spain  already given up for lost  42,590 million  of  public money  of  56,865 million which brought the  State  to  the bank bailout , ie, more than  80 percent  of the capital for the reorganization of banks. 

Pretending to be hypothetical, what would be if you could spend all this amount to the Spanish public health?

To get an idea,  public health spending  in 2016 was just over 70,000 million euros, representing 6.34 percent of  gross domestic product . 

Thus, this imaginary economic injection would cause this game ascend in practically  61 percent . 

Moreover, the money that has been lost is equivalent to what the Executive invested in health in 2003 when he spent  43,148 million euros  (at the time, the  5.37 percent  of  GDP ).

If we focus exclusively on the  budgets of the autonomous communities , the money, according to the Bank of Spain, it will never return to public coffers would serve to keep the same heading for nearly five years in a row to  Andalusia , which leads the regional ranking ( 9.304 million euros ). 

To  Madrid even could be extended one more year up to the six- and now has about  7,632 million euros . 

To get an idea of the dimension of this figure, just realize that 42,590 million are about  12 times  the budget sector in the  Basque Country  ( 3537000 ).

Moreover, this money would fit perfectly to plug gaps in the  NHS  denouncing the  report Esade  last January when amounted financing needs between  32,000 and 48,000 million  euros for  2025 . 

And, of course, would be the solution to cover the  health public debt , which last year closed with  5,275 million euros .

"Recovery of 28,000 jobs"

"That money lost would be worth perfectly for you to regain the  28,000 jobs  that have been lost in the sector, which would help dramatically reduce  waiting lists  and at the same time, will reconquer  rights of health professionals . 

It could also cover the costs of current reforms in health centers and hospitals, as well as undertake infrastructure improvements need. 

And even with that, there would still be money , "he laments for  Medical Writing  the secretary general of the Federation of Health of CCOO,  Antonio Cabrera.

Precisely this union has demanded the  government to invest 23.000 million in  Education  and Health in this term, more than half the capital lost during the bank bailout
