30,000 users of the San Diego health center expect the construction of the new health center in San Cristóbal, planned in health planning since 2008, "crowded". The PSOE urges to build this new center to "relieve" the daily pressure of a center , San Diego, which has the largest number of primers per doctor of the entire Region of Murcia, in particular, 1,986 patients per family doctor.
The deputy spokesman of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Marisol Sánchez Jódar has once again highlighted the "urgent" need for Health to build a new health center for the area of ​​influence of the Barrio de San Cristóbal to "relieve" the "overcrowding" daily "suffered by the 30,000 users who have a primer in San Diego.
Sánchez Jódar has warned that the construction of this new center "remains blocked" because, while the Popular Party of Lorca still does not offer the necessary municipal land, the regional government will have the "perfect excuse" to continue without having to allocate "not a penny "to the construction of this center.
The socialist mayor says that the Popular Party has been exercising for years "systematic abuse" San Diego and San Cristóbal health users, and that has resulted in the daily "overcrowding" suffered.
Ensures that the current situation of the San Diego health center is "chaotic" and that it is a direct consequence, first, of the closing of the afternoon consultations that the PP applied in 2015 as well as the closure of the San Diego emergencies in 2016, which is also generating the "collapse" of the emergencies of Sutullena and Rafael Méndez.
To these cuts, he says, are added the deceptions and false promises that the PP has been doing in recent years.
Remember that the closure of the emergency in San Diego was accompanied by the promise of the PP to allocate 200,000 euros for the "relocation and improvement" of the pediatric area of ​​San Diego in the units that were empty with the closure of the emergency.
However, he denounces that after one year "neither emergencies nor improved pediatric service" because nothing has been done in all this time.
Sánchez Jódar ensures that those 200,000 euros "have been lost" and warns that the proof is that the PP has had to re-budget that amount for 2018, increasing it by 40,000 euros, needed to improve a space "that due to lack of maintenance , has continued to deteriorate. "
The mayor says that "the deceptions of the PP to Lorca far outweigh the demonstrated capabilities."
Marisol Sánchez denounces that the Lorca are suffering "the exhaustion" of the Popular Party, just to find the necessary land in which to build the new health center in the neighborhood leads employees "without success" 10 years.
"Neither in 10 years nor with 2 mayors have been able to make available to Sanidad the site for the new center", so "they have already shown how far this government team arrives," sentence.
In this regard, the mayor says that the policies of the PP seriously harm the health care of the municipality, so that the citizens of Lorca "there are plenty of reasons" to stop voting for the Popular Party.
Chaos at the San Diego Medical Center: 1,986 patients per family doctor and more than a week's delay for appointment with the attending physician
Sánchez Jódar has once again highlighted the daily "chaos" that exists in the health center of Lorca-San Diego.
Ensures that, especially early in the morning, overcrowding is "maximum" because they are forced to live "mixed" from the patient who comes for an analytical to the largest waiting for the doctor or child for your doctor pediatrician.
The socialist mayor denounces that San Diego is for years, the primary care center of the entire Region of Murcia with the largest number of primers.
In particular, each doctor serves 1,986 patients, this being the highest rate of the entire Murcian Health Service.
This situation translates into the "illegal delays" that patients continue to endure.
Ensures that these users have to wait "more than a week" to be seen by their GP.
An "illegal" delay, since they exceed the delay times contemplated by the Law, and which has as a consequence the overload of the professionals of the center and the desperation of the patients.
