<p><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">It happened in the Peron Hospital of Tartagal. There are participants in the Heads of Household and Community Employment programs. According to the Audit of Salta, the health center also presents shortcomings in the administration, in the field of heritage and the security service. At the pharmacy, there is no record of delivery of drugs to outpatients.</span></p>
According to a report of the Auditor General of Salta, several people involved in social programs, such as Community and Heads of Household Employment attend the Hospital Presidente Juan Domingo Peron of Tartagal "to perform duties without being assigned specific tasks."
Also, the health center records other administrative irregularities. The Watchdog said that "there is no instrument that provides a record of awards and contracts made by the Hospital." And in the area of tuition, where the benefits are paid, "no reports that allow information to those made invoices are carried out, paid or unpaid, as well as the likely period of his collection."
Administrative management, meanwhile, is not a "manual task and function, in which targets are set, functions, activities, duties and responsibilities of the various levels and organizational units (Hospital)," says the report.
The Ministry of Public Health of Salta has a Purchasing and Heritage Program, through which drugs and dry goods are given to hospitals in the province, including Tartagal. However, the audit says that the management of that facility’s management "has no information of the portfolio (about) the sending" of goods to "control their income compared to the allocated budget and its implementation."
Another sector which has shortcomings is the Presidente Peron pharmacy. According to the report, "there is no record of delivery of drugs to outpatients."
There is also an observation that involves the provincial Ministry of Health. On the one hand, the portfolio "does not carry a unified record of consignments and deliveries of medicines to allow for checks, (and) therefore it is not possible to determine the total amount of drugs referred to the hospital." And, on the other, in the Peron "there is no evidence that movements in and out of drugs are registered in the permanent inventory" that is administered at the pharmacy.
The Watchdog said the security service of the President Peron is provided by the Private Security Action Agency that at the time of the report approved this year "does not have the respective contract governing their activities."
