The deputy spokesman of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Marisol Sánchez Jódar has demanded the operation of the magnetic resonance unit at the General University Hospital Rafael Méndez de Lorca.

For a month and a half, this device is "packed and stored" in the basement of Lorca hospital, without being able to start up, due to the lack of specialized health personnel.

The socialist mayor says she does not understand why the Autonomous Community has not done its homework, and has not proceeded to hire the health personnel that requires the implementation of this service, as well as the necessary conditioning works.

Since July 2017, the date on which the agreement was signed by which the Amancio Ortega Foundation pledged to donate the Magnetic Resonance Unit to Rafael Méndez Hospital, the arrival of this device was expected, so it insists that it is " incomprehensible "that have resulted in the device having arrived and can not be started due to lack of personnel.

The socialist mayor has asked the Mayor to even if for once, be "demanding" before his colleagues in the Regional Government to warn the need to hire the necessary personnel attached to this unit and demand the "immediate" start-up of this test "indispensable" diagnosis, which the Lorca hospital has lacked since its opening in 1989. Regrets that Gil Jódar still does not wake up and without landing at the City Hall to be interested in the real problems for Lorca, like this one.

Sánchez Jódar warns that neglect and the fact that both the Mayor and the regional government are put in other things that of course, is not the improvement of public health, is what is delaying the implementation of this benefit.

While the start-up of this unit is delayed, there are dozens of people who, every day, are referred to hospitals outside the municipality, forced to make a "long and expensive" pilgrimage throughout the Region of Murcia for the realization of a simple magnetic resonance.
