The PSOE denounces the alarming rise of waiting lists at the Hospital Rafael Mendez (20/10/2017)

The data provided by the Murcia Health Service in September confirm the "disgraceful" honor that Rafael Méndez continues to lead the worst data on waiting lists throughout the Region of Murcia.

New "urgent" request by the Ombudsman, before which this high commissioner considers a "delay" in receiving the information that this institution requested to the Murcian Health Service at the request of the PSOE.

The deputy spokesman of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Marisol Sanchez has again reported the alarming data of waiting lists in Lorca and the rest of the area III health.

September leaves us with "chilling and truly worrisome" data because at the first specialist consultation, surgical intervention and diagnostic tests, all the indicators show a "worsening" of health care in the municipality.

The socialist mayor has exposed the following data.

For the first consultation specialist, in Lorca we expect 33 days more than in any other point in the Region since the wait for the first consultation specialist is located in 76, 8 days, in area III the wait already reaches 110.1 days.

Sánchez Jódar has once again denounced the citation system implemented in the area III of health, in which the citizen comes with his doctor from the bedside doctor to the administration offices of Rafael Méndez and finds the answer that "the agendas are closed. "

This "unusual" citation system means that 36% of the total number of patients with no date assigned to the first specialist consultation in the Region is from the Rafael Méndez hospital.

That is, of the total of 22,073 patients with no date in the entire Region, 8,064 are from Lorca.

An "exponential" figure that shows the serious discrimination of area III of health with respect to the rest of areas of the Region of Murcia.

As for surgical interventions, the wait in Lorca is already in 122.16 days;

while the regional mean for surgical intervention is 116 days.

This means that the citizens assigned to Rafael Mendez have to wait 6 more days on average to undergo surgery, than any other citizen of the Region.

A clear breach of Decree 25/2006, which sets the maximum waiting times for surgical operation in 90 days.

In this sense, the Senator of the PSOE, Juan Luis Soto has expressed concern about these new data that leave area III to the tail of regional health.

In fact, they will be incorporated in the file that is currently being processed by the Ombudsman since the Socialists raised a formal complaint to this body because of the "evident" discrimination situation of area III with respect to other areas of the Region.

Soto Burillo announced this morning a new "urgent" request from the Ombudsman, to which this high commissioner considers a "delay" in receiving the information that this institution requested the Murcian Health Service at the request of the PSOE.

Faced with this "inexplicable" delay, the Ombudsman has again given a new term to the Regional Administration to urgently provide the requested information.

Otherwise, there will be a last requirement that, if not answered, will make the file go directly to the Ministry of Health.

Sánchez Jódar has finished his speech urging the current Mayor of Lorca so that, faced with these "very serious" data of the Health in Lorca, stop apologizing to his party partner and act in a "blunt and immediate" because Lorca deserves a Mayor that does not allow the health of the Lorca to continue to be put at stake, because "cut in Health is cut in life."
