It has been revealed that the
Central Bank , which has not taken into account the warnings of the
Court of Accounts since 2013, has spent more than 262 million liras for the treatment and medication expenses of its personnel and dependents since that date.
According to the information contained in the Central Bank's Audit Report for the Year 2020 of the Court of Accounts, the private health expenditure of the institution for personnel from the bank budget was 52 million 178 thousand liras only last year.
The Court of Accounts determined that the Central Bank, which announced that it ended this practice as of January 1, 2018, continued this practice by purchasing Group Health Insurance service with the "External Source" within the scope of the "exception" pursuant to Article 3 (c) of the Public Procurement Law No. 4734.
The Court of Accounts also reminded of the payments made by the Central Bank to private health institutions in the past years. According to the news of İsmail Şahin from Sözcü, private insurance companies;
23.4 million in 2013,
24.9 million in 2014,
28.5 million in 2015,
29.8 million in 2016,
30.5 million in 2017,
34.3 million in 2018,
38.9 million in 2019
and The Central Bank, which paid 52.1 million lira in 2020, spent a total of 262.5 million lira in 8 years for the health of its personnel and their families.
They didn't use SSI
According to the information in the audit report of the Court of Accounts, the amount determined by the Health Practice Communiqués (SUT) for the Central Bank personnel going to private hospitals is covered by the SSI, and the amount exceeding the SUT fees is paid by the Bank personnel, while the treatment expenses are paid by the non-contracted private health institutions and organizations and private physicians. All of them had to be met by the bank staff. However, the Central Bank made private health insurance for the bank members and their dependents using the institution's safe.
TCA: UNLAWFUL
Reminding that with the Law No. 5510, all employees have been united under the umbrella of SGK since 2010 and the practice of paying for treatment and medication from the budgets of the administrations within the scope of the law, the Court of Accounts warned the Central Bank.
The auditors of the Court of Accounts, who wanted the practice to be ended as soon as possible, said in the report, "The practice of making duplicate and unlawful payments as a result of paying both the SGK and the private insurance company for the health services that must be carried out by the SGK should be abandoned."
YOU UNDERSTOOD INDEPENDENCE
The Central Bank has been defending the issue by emphasizing "independence", stating that it has an independent and unique legal status for a long time. The answer of the Court of Accounts regarding this is as follows:
“The Bank's independence in carrying out its duties due to Article 4 of Law No. 1211, its financial independence due to Article 22, and the fact that it prepares its own budget, and the authority to determine the status of personnel due to Articles 32 and 33 belongs to the Board of Directors of the Bank. It does not authorize the Council to cover the health expenses of the personnel from the Bank's budget, which is in contradiction with the provision that the provisions of the Law No. 5510 regarding the personnel in Article 34 of the Law No. 1211. Regulations on health expenditures enacted by the Board of Directors cannot be contrary to the provision in the article of the Law, which is the upper norm.”
