PS wants Hospital do Oeste and Leiria in the OE2027

The PS parliamentary group opposed the exclusion of investments for the construction of the Oeste Hospital and the expansion of Leiria Hospital from the 2027 State Budget. PS leader Eurico Brilhante Dias criticized the government's regional health strategies and emphasized the necessity of these investments to address regional healthcare needs. The PS proposed amendments to include these projects in the budget discussions. The ULS of Leiria region is facing capacity issues, with the Santo André Hospital being overburdened. Local municipalities are urging the government for a swift decision on the new Oeste Hospital's location, which was previously announced to be in Bombarral. This new facility aims to serve around 300,000 residents across several municipalities.
