Marisol Sánchez: "The stubborn policy of the current Rafael Méndez de Lorca hospital management, 'made in Partido Popular', is the cause of the continuing saturation and overcrowding of patients waiting for their entry into the observation room and the ward of average care "
The deputy spokesperson of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Marisol Sanchez has called on the management of health area III to enable as soon as possible a pre-hospital room to not congeste the observation and middle care rooms of the Rafael Méndez Urgencies .
Both rooms, warns the mayor, "are frequently saturated because the Rafael Méndez hospital does not have another room where patients waiting to be admitted to the plant can be treated."
The mayor has ensured that "the stubborn policy of the current management of health area III, together with the lack of foresight, is the direct cause of continuous saturation, and the accumulation of beds with patients who remain waiting for their income in the observation and middle care rooms, located in the emergency room of Rafael Méndez. "
Sánchez Jódar reminds us that, unfortunately, the episodes in which we can find patients crammed into the observation and middle care rooms have stopped being sporadic to become practically the usual tonic.
One of the reasons is the 'SueñOn Program' that prohibits the income in plant from the 00:15 hours, by which the moments in which both rooms present an "inhuman" image of saturation of "beds with patients" are continuous. waiting for their turn to be admitted, along with other patients with different emergencies and pathologies.
The socialist mayor warns that "to benefit from a program of these characteristics, the hospital should have a pre-admission room, which today we do not have, and that the manager insists on replacing the observation and care rooms means , which are to accommodate other types of patients, with other needs. "
"It is irresponsible on the part of the current management to take advantage of such a program, without having the necessary physical means, and everything to continue saving in the recruitment of personnel" and the lack of foresight of the necessary spaces., Thus saturating, already already congested, Emergency Service Rafael Méndez Hospital of Lorca
The mayor has insisted on the need to solve this lack of human resources and the lack of a room of these characteristics to "attend decently" to patients waiting to be admitted to the plant.
