PSD deputies are concerned about a series of failures in the helitransported medical emergency system of the National Institute of Medical Emergency of Portugal (INEM), namely the lack of adequate training of pilots operating those aerial means." Does the Government recognize the existence of pilots, integrated into the helitransported medical emergency system of INEM, who have not obtained or have the training mandatory for that purpose?" question the Members, who urge the Minister of Health to give Explanations.

The PSD parliamentary group maintains that "news recently came to public that show that the National Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC), following an inspection action, will have banned several pilots from the medical emergency helitransported from INEM from flying , because serious failures have been found in their training, in particular with regard to a lack of training and compulsory training". A situation that affects the four aircraft at the service of INEM and which, according to the PSD, "compromises the operationality of those rescue aircraft – especially those of Macedo de Cavaleiros and Viseu – who have been stopped, thus jeopardizing the readiness of the medical emergency system." The PSD recalls that the National Civil Aviation Authority-ANAC notified the operating company, which will have to resolve the failures identified during the inspection action, in order to ensure the safety of operations, otherwise "processes may be initiated counterordering." The four questions of the PSD to the Minister of HealthConfirm the Government that the National Institute of Medical Emergency was recently the subject of an inspection action by the National Civil Aviation Authority in relation to their medical emergency facilities helitransported? Can the Government ensure that under no circumstances have helitransported actions been carried out under the INEM medical emergency system, using pilots without mandatory training and training for that purpose? Does the Government recognize the existence of pilots, integrated into the helitransported medical emergency system of INEM, who have not obtained or have mandatory training and training for that purpose? What measures has the Government taken, in particular with the company responsible for operating INEM's helitransported medical emergency environment, to ensure the safety of relief operations?
