“Of course, everything coincided ungratefully with the election, but violations of labor discipline and non-compliance with instructions occurred long before the elections, before there were speeches that colleague Čaplinskas plans to participate in them,” the minister said. on Delfi Day.
“There were many serious violations. A commission was formed to evaluate them, present conclusions and propose such a solution,” he explained.
A. Veryga clarified that S. Čaplinskas has not yet been formally fired because he has an incapacity to work, but the order has already been signed: the first day of his work after incapacity to work will be the last day of work at ULAC.
SAM issued a report early Thursday stating the reasons for Chaplinsk’s firing. According to Mr. Veryga, there was more than one infraction.
“There have been many violations and this should not be associated with any inappropriate speech, these are violations of a completely different nature. One of them refers to the transfer of the information system to the NVSC, where the country could face very serious consequences. The manager’s direct instructions and my orders were not carried out, ”says the Minister of Health.
According to him, if the aforementioned data is not sent to the European Center for Disease Control, Lithuanian citizens could be subject to more travel restrictions in the first place.
“If Lithuania did not provide data to the European Center for Disease Control in time, our country would be on the list of so-called gray countries that have not provided data.” So countries that apply movement restrictions would also apply them to Lithuania. This means that it would be more difficult for our citizens to travel somewhere, some restrictions would come into force ”, said A. Veryga in the“ Delfi diena ”program.
Government approved in one hour
Aurelius Veryga confirmed at an hour of government that S. Chaplinks was fired on Wednesday with an order that he signed.
The basis for this decision was, according to him, the conclusions of the official investigation on possible violations by ULAC.
“He is fired due to a series of violations of labor discipline and failure to fulfill his duties,” said A. Veryga during an hour of government at Seimas on Thursday.
He rejected that the dismissal of S. Čaplinskas could be related to the candidacy of Seimas on the list of the opposition Social Democratic Party.
“A commission was formed to evaluate, and some of those violations were committed long before he participated in the elections or indicated where and with which party he was running,” the minister said.
“Actually, this is solely because he did not fulfill his duties,” Veryga said.
It reported that S. Čaplinskas is currently unable to work, but the first day after his work will be the last day under the direction of ULAC.
The Ministry of Health (SAM) reported that the temporary institution is headed by Deputy Director Kęstutis Krivickas.
Ministry: S. Čaplinskas did not transfer the information system to the NVSC
In a report issued by SAM, the main argument for firing S. Čaplinskas was that his center did not transfer the State Information System on Communicable Diseases and their Pathogens (ULSVIS) to another manager appointed by the Ministry: the National Center for Public Health (NVSC).
The Ministry emphasizes that the administration of the system was transferred to the NVSC on July 31, but ULAC did not cooperate with the Public Health Center “to ensure a smooth transfer of the system, in violation of legal requirements, and did not ensure other functions assigned by the Minister “.
According to the ministry, this prevented the NVSC from providing timely data to responsible authorities, complicating work to quickly investigate communicable disease outbreaks and identify outbreaks, as well as the risk of tighter movement restrictions for Lithuanian residents. throughout the EU.
„S. By not transferring ULSVIS, Čaplinskas prevented NVSC from properly implementing its established responsibilities related to managing information on communicable diseases, investigating outbreaks and providing information to other Lithuanian and European institutions, ”says the Ministry.
According to the Ministry, without providing the specified data, Lithuania will be subject to additional restrictions related to the movement of people in the European Union, that is, the same restrictions will apply as for countries with higher risk, that is, in the red zone. .
“Currently, the proper use of the system acquired with state funds is not possible only because of the inaction of the head of the institution,” says SAM.
Medikas S. Čaplinskas has run ULAC since 1989, when the institution was still called the Lithuanian AIDS Center.
