After the special ministerial meeting held on that day, the government announced that it would temporarily reduce the value added tax of new premises from 8% to 4% by December 31st this year, which means that the purchase of a 200 thousand euro house can save 8000 euros.

Reducing drug expenditure will save about 2 billion 400 million euros of annual drug expenditure for the state and autonomous regions.

Blanco asked doctors not to follow the name of drug brand while prescribing, but according to the effectiveness of drugs, pharmacists should choose the lowest price drugs among similar drugs.

He stressed: "we should not let drugs be filled with drugs that are not used or expired, which are paid by taxes."
