New data confirming the "total discrimination" of the PP to Lorca, also in health.
Sánchez Jódar demands the public appearance of the Mayor and Regional Deputy, as well as the Councilor for Health, because of the fact "his silence will continue to make them accomplices of the collapse of area III, the deterioration of public health in Lorca and the problems that this situation Can generate in the health of the lorquinos
The PSOE Deputy Speaker in the City of Lorca, Marisol Sánchez Jódar has denounced the new increase in the number of patients in the waiting list for first consultation of Specialties, which only during the last year in area III of health has risen in 2,077 patients, Reaching the figure of 14,227.
Data that according to the Socialist Group are the result of the "total discrimination" that the PP maintains with Lorca, also in the area of ​​health care.
By Specialties, and with respect to three months ago, the increase in the number of patients who expect to be able to be treated in the area III is generalized.
Only Cardiology and Gynecology get rid of this increase.
General and Digestive Surgery (+54), Dermatology (+34), Digestive (+32), Neurology (+43), Ophthalmology (+193), Otolaryngology (+127), Traumatology (+558) and Urology Confirms this increase during the last quarter, which in the global set has gone from 13,185 in September 2016 to 14,227 in December, according to sources of the Ministry of Health.
Regarding other areas, as reported Sanchez Jódar "the difference is alarming."
Regarding waiting times, Rafael Mendez patients "have to wait up to three and four times more than patients in areas such as the Altiplano, Arrixaca or Cieza."
For the Socialist mayor "those responsible for this discrimination have names and surnames," is why today has demanded the Mayor and Regional Deputy, and the councilman of Health, his immediate public appearance.
Otherwise, he says "their silence will continue to make them accomplices of the collapse of area III, the deterioration of public health in Lorca and the problems that this situation can generate in the health of Lorca patients."
Sánchez Jódar insists that these continuous increases in the indicators of the waiting lists for Specialist within the area III "are not spontaneous".
The reasons that the mayor has listed and that explain this increase are, in his opinion, "more than evident".
Sanidad and the Popular Party have for years on the table the PSOE's demand to apply "a real plan to clash against waiting lists that, yes or yes, goes through increasing the headings for personnel, infrastructures and health apparatus", for Palliate assures the "serious deficiencies of the area III health with respect to other areas".
However, the deterioration of Primary Care, with the closing of consultations in the afternoon;
The saturation of the ER, with the recent closure of San Diego, or the euro zeros for new health staff for area III, as reflected in the recent regional budgets, clarify why the number of patients on the waiting list continues to rise.
To end this dynamic and solve these "shameful waiting lists in area III," says the Socialist mayor "it is necessary that the Popular Party and its health officials lift the veto they maintain against Lorca," because he has once again insisted that "The indicators speak for themselves."
"It is clear that with its measures, the PP is making the right to a quality public health depends on the place where you live in this region, where Lorca with the Popular Party is always the worst stop."
