Carvalho statements were made within the debate for the establishment of the norm called “Amendment 29”, which establishes minimum parameters for federative entities to invest in resources for the financing of actions and services related to Public Health.
The bingo legalization could assure the feasibility of the “Amendment 29”, however, Carvalho discarded this possibility with this statement.
