REYES SANTIAS, Francisco. Concession contracts and financing of public hospitals: Juridical analysis for Spain. Rev. Derecho [online]. 2010, n.34, pp.116-146. ISSN 0121-8697.

Aims: To Analyze the available law evidence for on the results of the Concession of Public Contracts for the construction and management of hospitals and its impact on the Spanish Public Health System. Methods: Bibliographical Search and analysis of doctrine and its jurisprudence on the concession contracts for building sanitary infrastructures. Results: Concession contracts do not serve for managing Health Care public services. In the public health care system, the change for labour status, could damage health care workers' rights. The insertion of private sector management with authority and responsibility on personnel attending patients generates concerns. Conclusions: The Concession contracts seem to appear as a solution for financing health care hospitals, but the analysis offers a critical vision.

Keywords : Concession; external contracting; hospitals; public management.
