When new ambulances become obstacles: Who pays the price in Mallorca?

Answer

Who is responsible when public health purchases in Mallorca do not fit daily use?

Responsibility can fall on several sides: the public authority that ordered the vehicles, the operators that have to run them, and the decision-makers who should have checked practical use in advance. In Mallorca, the debate is also about whether staff were involved early enough and whether risks were properly assessed. When an expensive purchase does not work in practice, the problem is usually shared across planning and management.
