ABSTRACT
Desde su promulgación en 1986, la Ley General de Sanidad (Ley 14/1986) ha sufrido sucesivos cambios que han consolidado un modelo de Sistema Nacional de Salud. La Ley se plasmó en 113 Artículos, 10 Disposiciones Adicionales, 5 Disposiciones Transitorias, 2 Disposiciones Derogatorias y 15 Disposiciones Finales, en total tiene 143 artículos. Tras la revisión de toda la legislación aparecida desde 1986 hasta la actualidad podemos ver que hay 106 artículos (74,2%) que han perdido efectividad normativa y merecen un análisis o reflexión. Todos pueden ser clasificados en cuatro grupos, 26 artículos derogados y modificados (18,2%), 33 artículos clasificados como obsoletos (23,1%), 6 artículos denominados inmaduros (4,2%) y, finalmente, el grupo crítico (temas controvertidos con redacción ambigua) que tiene 41 artículos (28,6%). Tras un cuarto de siglo de vigencia de la Ley hay dos tercios de la misma que deben ser revisados. Vista esta debilidad jurídica, parece que una nueva Ley del Sistema Nacional de Salud para el siglo XXI debería ser el objetivo central del pacto político por la sanidad(AU)
Since its enactment in 1986, the General Health Law (Law 14/1986) has undergone several changes that have consolidated a model of National Health System. The law was embodied in 113 articles, ten Additional Provisions, five transitional arrangements, two Repeal and fifteen Final Provisions, has altogether 143 articles. After reviewing all legislation that appeared from 1986 to until today we can see that there are 106 articles (74.2%) that have lost regulatory effectiveness and merit analysis or reflection. All these items can be classified into four groups, the repealed and amended 26 articles (18.2%), 33 items of obsolete group (23.1%); the group of ill-developed are 6 articles (4.2%) and the critical (controversial and under ambiguous wording) group that has 41 articles (28.6%). After a quarter century of enforcement of the Act, two thirds of it to be reviewed. This legal weakness suggest the need of a new General Health Act for the Spanish National health System, being it a central objective of a political wide agreement(AU)
