The report indicates a loss of R$1 million to public coffers in Pauini and the use of approximately R$1 million for a purpose other than that intended in Tapauá. The inspection was determined by Minister Flávio Dino, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), within the scope of Action for Noncompliance with Fundamental Precepts (ADPF) 854, which deals with the transparency and traceability of parliamentary amendments.

Audits on amendments aimed at health were determined by Flávio Dino within the scope of ADPF 854, an action that accompanies the implementation of mechanisms to identify the parliamentarian author of the amendment, the destination of the resources and the execution of public money. In a decision published on July 14, the minister stated that parliamentary amendments must comply with the constitutional criteria of transparency and control. For the magistrate, the results of the audits reinforce the need to improve governance and inspection mechanisms in the application of health resources. After receiving the report, Dino ordered the document to be sent to the Ministry of Health, the National Council of Health Secretaries (Conass), the National Council of Municipal Health Secretaries (Conasems) and the Health committees of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. The bodies will have 30 days to present proposals to improve the control, monitoring, accountability and traceability mechanisms of parliamentary amendments destined for the SUS.
