In the government of Saulius Skvernelis, the position of head of emergency operations was assumed by the former Minister of Health Aurelijus Veryga.
At that time, Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė has repeatedly mentioned that the post of Head of Emergency Operations in the new Government should be in the hands of the Prime Minister.
“I would see the Prime Minister in the position of chief of operations. Not only because I don’t think everything was done in the best possible way in this episode (Epidemiological Crisis Management – ELTA). Probably the biggest problem, however, was the duality, that basically there were two power centers that sometimes competed with each other. It really shouldn’t be like that. And another thing is that this situation covers more areas than just medical care, “said I. Šimonytė in November.
Former Prime Minister S. Skvernelis was skeptical of I. Šimonytė’s statements that the head of state-level emergency operations should not be the Minister of Health, but the Prime Minister.
“The prime minister has to make strategic decisions, not perform very specific technical functions. The operations manager performs technical functions, ”S. Skvernelis said in November.
