The Edil of Health, José Ángel Ponce, regrets that "the Regional Government of Lorca Fernando López Miras will allocate this year 0 euros for the new neighborhood health center and 0 euros for the second emergency service for Lorca."

The councilor of Health in the City of Lorca, José Ángel Ponce, has assured, this morning, that the regional budgets in the matter of Health for the municipality of Lorca are "stunted and continuous, not contemplating a single cent for the construction of the new health center in the neighborhood or for the much needed second emergency service (SUAP) for the city of Lorca. "

After analyzing the draft budget, the mayor of Health has requested an urgent meeting with the Minister of Health to request that the Regional Government rectify, as it is "it has been seen that they are unable to face the investments that we have been demanding for years for the improvement of health care in the municipality, and that the citizens of Lorca deserve. "

Ponce has labeled "offense" that the Regional Government has forgotten the first change to face the construction of the new health center in the neighborhood, and that instead they want to "try to satisfy the Lorca with a stunted 50,000 euros to a supposed expansion of the San Diego health center The saturation that this health center registers daily is not solved by opening a couple more rooms where there is no space left, but rather by complying with the split that orders the health map since 2008 with the construction of a new health center in the neighborhood. "

The Councilor for Health has said that "the budgets again make it clear that the Regional Government discriminates against citizens based on where they reside, because of the total investments in Primary Care, which is around 5.1 million euros for the entire Region , only 50,000 euros will go to health area III this 2020 ".

Ponce has again recalled that the SUAP of Sutullena "is the one that serves the most warnings in the entire Region, with more than 40,300", so "it is urgent" that the city has a second service.

Similarly, the Regional Government also forgets to provide 061 with a new mobile ICU (EMU), forcing health professionals to attend, with a single SUAP and with an EMU shared with Totana and Puerto Lumbreras, the urgencies of a municipality like that of Lorca, with 1,676 km2 and with more than 91,000 inhabitants. "

Finally, the mayor has reiterated that "the Regional Government has to clarify, urgently, where the million-dollar investments that three months before the elections also promised to make improvements in the Rafael Méndez hospital and in Health Area III ".
