In addition, the socialists report that by law, the maximum periods of access to health services of a scheduled and non-urgent nature are, for surgical operations, 150 calendar days;
for first consultations of specialized attention, 50 calendar days, and for first diagnostic / therapeutic tests, 30 calendar days.
Patients who exceed these waiting times have the right to be treated at any other public or arranged center in the Region dependent on the Murcian Health Service.
The deputy spokesman of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Marisol Sánchez Jódar has denounced that the Popular Party of López Miras and Gil Jódar, far from being concerned about the health cuts that leave Lorca at the tail of the public health of the Region of Murcia , what you are doing is "reward them and impose them".
The PSOE has shown a document that shows that premium, through bonuses of compensation for the achievement of objectives, among which are the savings in staff costs for substitutions for vacations, temporary disability, permissions and casual staff costs
This information, says Sanchez Jódar, is the most evident proof that explains what happens again this summer at Rafael Méndez and in the whole area III of health.
Despite having the highest waiting lists in the entire Region of Murcia, the Regional Government continues to cut staff and not hire new during the summer months.
Today, says the socialist mayor, there are units and services that in the morning have 50 percent fewer nurses, a situation that causes "real difficulties" for both the staff and the users themselves.
In addition, the maternity plant is installed in the traumatology plant.
This transfer has involved the closure of the trauma plant and the distribution of the latter's personnel by the rest of the plants.
As for the patients, they are distributed in plants such as surgery or are directly referred to other hospitals, such as Molina de Segura.
As for the Specialties plant, during this summer it will be closed in half.
In fact, it is only attended by a nurse and a nursing assistant, when in normal conditions this plant comes to be attended by three nurses and three assistants.
These cuts in the Rafael Mendez during the summer, are added to the closure of medical offices in districts that are causing "real havoc" to the population, especially older people before the impossibility of moving to the city for their most essential medical care.
In addition, the mayor has also reported the closure, in afternoon hours, of the only primary care medical center that kept this schedule: the La Viña.
Sánchez Jódar ensures that the discourse of economic recovery that the Popular Party announces is "incompatible" with these situations in which "by cutting back the health of people is being put at risk".
The mayor says that this policy "cicatera" of the Popular Party, which continues to impose sanitary cuts and offering job insecurity to professionals, is what continues to cause Lorca is "tail of the tail" of the Region of Murcia "with the worst waiting lists in Public Health. "
In this regard, the socialist mayor has again recommended to users of public health in Lorca that are on the waiting list longer than the maximum stipulated by law, seeking protection under current legislation, since the Murcian Service of Health is obliged to assist them in any center, be it the referral of the patient or any other point in the Region.
This is how it is established, informs Sánchez Jódar, both by Law 3/2009 of May 11, on the Rights and Duties of Users of the Health System of the Region of Murcia, and also by Decree 25/2006, of 31 March, which develops the basic state regulations on information on waiting lists and establishes the necessary measures to guarantee a maximum time of access to the benefits of the public health system of the Region of Murcia.
Marisol Sánchez encourages users to accept this legislation "that the Popular Party does not want patients to know".
The mayor assures that, by Law, the maximum periods of access to health services of a programmed and non-urgent nature are, for surgical interventions, 150 calendar days;
for first consultations of specialized attention, 50 calendar days, and for first diagnostic / therapeutic tests, 30 calendar days.
Patients who exceed these waiting times have the right to be treated at any other public or subsidized center dependent on the Murcian Health Service.
