Santa Eulària argues the legality of the Tur Viñas private hospital

Francisco Vilás is accused by the pharmaceutical executive of attempting to "protect the monopoly of private healthcare in Ibiza from the courts."

The Santa Eulària government team maintains that the administrative procedure for the concession of the licences of works and activity of the private hospital that pharmaceutical businessman Juan Tur Viñas plans to build in the Cas Doctor Martí estate in Jesús adheres to “scrupulously the current legislation.” The PP local government expresses its displeasure in a statement “tranquillity” brought about by the administrative process as a result of “the trust that deserves all of its technical services and the entire transparency that distinguishes the institution.”

Despite the fact that the writ of admission to process the complaint of Francisco Vilás, the owner of Policlínica Nuestra Señora del Rosario, against the mayor, Carmen Ferrer, for alleged prevarication is dated December 14, the note states that the investigated “has not received any communication.”

According to the statement, the Consistory “respects the judicial proceedings and notes that the courts have provided reasons in each and every step that has been taken in response to the file I t further clarifies that Vilàs’ previous complaint against former mayor Vicent Maír, former Urbanism Councillor Mariano Juan, and a technician was archived.

Juan Tur Viñas, a pharmaceutical businessman, accused the owner of Policlínica Nuestra Señora del Rosario of wishing to “keep the monopoly of private health in Ibiza via the courts and not from fair competition.” Tur Viñas issued another statement yesterday in response to the information advanced by this newspaper about the lawsuit against the mayor of Santa Eulària, Carmen Ferrer, and the Consell study that supports the developer’s request to expand the hospital’s initial project.

Tur Viñas claims that the lawsuit’s “ultimate goal” and “the partial and interested leak of reports about the project’s processing process is none other than to continue paralysing a critical health initiative for the island.”

Concerning the complaint against the mayoress for alleged passivity in the processing of the expiration of the building and activity licences due to having exceeded the legal deadline for obtaining them, the pharmaceutical businessman claims that “there have not been the assumptions for this” because the project’s promoter, Iniciativas Médicas de Ibiza y Formentera SL, “has always corrected the deficiencies within the legally established period.”

Nonetheless, Tur Viñas emphasises that the project’s statement of general interest, approved upon by the Consell de Ibiza in August 2010, “remains in force” and that the project’s processing is “ongoing.” “Taking a rectifiable element of the processing as a reference to proclaim that an institution overturns the project is, at best, a very partial view and hardly suited to reality,” he argues.
