SAM listed the reasons
The Ministry of Health (SAM) also announced this in a press release. Explain the reasons why S. Čaplinskas is being fired.
The report affirms that the decision of A. Veryga in 2020. November 4 adopted, after knowing the conclusion of the investigation of the commission to investigate the possible violation of labor duties.
The conclusion presented by the Commission establishes that S. Čaplinskas, in the performance of his functions of organizing and directing the work of ULAC, did not ensure that the institution under his authority complied with the requirements of the applicable legislation relevant to comprehensive protection personal health and non-compliance with the Minister’s orders. .
2020 July 31 By order of the Minister of Health, the National Center for Public Health (NVSC) was appointed manager and manager of ULSVIS, for which ULAC was required to transfer to ULSVIS within the time limits and in accordance with the procedure settled down.
The investigation revealed that the head of ULAC did not comply with the provisions of the Ministerial Order, did not transfer to ULSVIS, did not cooperate with NVSC to ensure a smooth transmission of the system, thus violating the requirements of legal acts, and
The director of ULAC, S. Čaplinskas, who did not transfer to ULSVIS, prevented the NVSC from properly implementing its established responsibilities related to managing information on communicable diseases, investigating outbreaks and providing information to other Lithuanian institutions and European.
The NVSC is unable to take over ULSVIS, cannot perform the functions assigned by law, and cannot provide data to responsible authorities in a timely manner, making it very difficult to investigate communicable disease outbreaks and identify outbreaks. The NVSC also cannot guarantee adequate epidemiological surveillance of communicable diseases. Additionally, the NVSC is unable to provide the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control with data on coronavirus infection rates.
Without providing the specified data, Lithuania will be subject to additional restrictions related to the movement of people within the European Union. If a country does not provide data in a timely manner, it is subject to the same restrictions as redheads, that is, the highest risk countries, regardless of the actual epidemiological situation.
Aurelijus Veryga
Without the transfer of ULSVIS to the NSC, which has focused all its efforts during the pandemic on detecting coronavirus infections and conducting epidemiological investigations, there is a risk that the prevention and treatment of communicable diseases will not be adequately ensured. only in Lithuania but also internationally.
ULSVIS is particularly important in the control of communicable diseases and their agents, and its management failures threaten the security of collected data (including many personal data), as well as its timely submission to the European Center for Disease Control and the taking of timely decisions in the management of communicable diseases.
It was emphasized that the director of ULAC, S. Čaplinskas, by not unilaterally complying with the orders established in the orders, with his actions ignored and disregarded the legal normative acts that create rights and obligations for all participants in the legal relationship. The ULAC holder’s decision not to comply with the obligations established in the orders is incompatible with the state health policy pursued by SAM. At present, the proper use of a system acquired with public funds is not possible only because of the inaction of the head of the institution.
The termination date of S. Čaplinskas’ employment contract is postponed until the end of the temporary incapacity for work, the day of termination of employment being considered the first working day after the end of the temporary incapacity for work.
Kęstutis Krivickas, deputy director of ULAC, will temporarily assume the management of ULAC.
