When asked how she valued the decision of the NVSC incumbent R. Petraitis to remain in office, if it did not hinder the management of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Prime Minister answered yes.
“It’s difficult when people who can’t do their assigned tasks don’t want to realize that they can’t perform their assigned tasks. Here I am without any reference to something personal, but I think it is a general problem, “said I. Šimonytė during a press conference after the government meeting on Wednesday.
According to her, R. Petraitis did not do everything possible to make the NVSC work properly.
“The director of the institution is responsible for the organization of the work of the institution and questions related to the organization of the work of the institution should be asked mainly of the director of the institution. Even in cases where the head of the institution does not have sufficient resources to organize this work properly, it must be very clear that everything possible has been done to generate those resources and solve the problems. It seems to me that we are really losing a lot of this data.
His focus on where his responsibility lies in the performance of the institution did not seem very understandable to me.
I myself have contacted Mr. R. Petraitis. For me, his focus on where his responsibility lies for the results of the institution’s work did not seem very understandable to me, “added the Prime Minister, emphasizing that in the end it is not the Ministry of Health (SAM) who decides the activities and the incumbent of the NVSC.

SAM announced the decision to initiate an official inspection due to a possible violation of R. Petraitis’ duties on Monday. The inspection was initiated by the Ministry after evaluating the suggestions of the SAM experts following the written explanations received by the head of the NVSC on the unaccounted deaths related to coronavirus.
Petraitis has previously said that he will not resign because he believes the criticisms made of him are unfounded.
“I only heard the following statement: to calm the situation, I would have to resign.” The NVSC chief told Knowledge Radio on Monday.
He said he was not concerned about the inspection: “If systemic deficiencies in the activities of the institution or violations of the law are identified, I will definitely take responsibility and withdraw.”
NVSC’s management has been criticized by more than a thousand. Coronavirus-related deaths are not counted, writes BNS. R. Petraitis, head of the institution, stated that the situation did not arise because of the institution he directed, but because of the lack of information from the hospitals in time.
