In addition, they announce that three months ago the Regional Government of the Popular Party eliminated the ambulance service of six places of transport for rehabilitation that moved the users of the high districts to the center of primary care Lorca-Sutullena.
The Vice-spokesman of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Marisol Sánchez Jódar has denounced that area III is one of the regional health areas with fewer physical therapists per capita.
Specifically, according to the portal of Transparency of CARM, the Edil ensures that Lorca has one professional per 9,105 inhabitants, far from the "already low" national average (1 per 8,000 inhabitants), or As recommended by the World Health Organization (1 per 1,250 inhabitants).
Sánchez Jódar says that this shortage of staff means that, in the Region of Murcia, between 70% and 90% of patients are systematically referred to private health.
For the Socialist mayor, the consequences of this decline in personnel translates into "poor quality" attention and an increase in health spending.
The socialist vice-spokesman has calculated that in order to reach the national average, in the regional context it would be necessary to hire 20 physiotherapy professionals.
A situation that has shown little hope, but taking into account a devastating indicator: only in the Hospital Rafael Méndez de Lorca, Sanidad has not expanded the staff of physiotherapists for 14 years.
A freezing of staff that happens while in private hospitals of Lorca and the rest of municipalities of area III "have spent in the same period of time from 2 to 8 physiotherapists.
Regarding these indicators that show the "hidden privatization" of the rehabilitation service in the public hospitals of the Region of Murcia, Marisol Sánchez has been referring to the millionaire amount that the Regional Government has spent in rehabilitation health concerts.
Up to 3.2 million euros has allocated the Popular Party only in this regard that, according to estimate "would give to hire about 80 physiotherapists in public health full time."
At the same time, Marisol Sánchez has also wanted to echo the conditions of "high precariousness" that support professionals in these private centers, with "abusive workloads and, moreover, with salaries well below their professional qualifications."
Situation that, for the socialist mayor, would have a solution if, instead of betting on health concerts, the Regional Government of the PP gave a turn in its "policies of cuts" and bet on the public contracting of health personnel.
As I did a few weeks ago, when Sánchez Jódar denounced that Lorca is "at the tail" of the country and the EU in number of nurses, in addition to positively assessing that other opposition parties have wanted to echo and add to their complaint , From the PSOE insist once again on the need to expand the number of places for the next public calls, while insisting on the creation of job exchanges for each specialty.
The Popular Party leaves without ambulance for transport of rehabilitation to the users of the high districts
In addition to demanding that the Popular Party donate to health area III more health workers, the Socialists will also claim before the Regional Assembly the recovery of the ambulance of six places of transport for rehabilitation served to the users of the high districts for their transfer To the Lorca-Sutullena Primary Care Center.
Sánchez Jódar denounces this new cut with which the Popular Party left three months ago without the only ambulance with which the users of the high districts had to be able to move to the Lorca-Sutullena health center and to be able to receive their rehabilitation sessions .
This is a further cut with which the Popular Party continues with its plan to dismantle the public health in Lorca, with the permissiveness and complacency of a regional mayor and deputy "unable to raise his voice" against the cuts applied by his match.
