PSOE: "The Murcian Health Service implicitly recognizes the malfunction of the citation system of Rafael Méndez" (02/04/2018)

A resolution of the managing director of the Murcian Health Service comes to recognize, implicitly, the need to change the current model of citation causing the blockage of medical agendas, on what has been claiming the PSOE incessantly during recent years.

The deputy spokesperson of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Marisol Sánchez Jódar has celebrated the "positive" step that the Murcian Health Service has advanced with the approval of a resolution aimed at improving the quality of care for patients between primary care and attention hospital, and with it, towards the need to speed up the "illegal and immoral" waiting times that public health patients in the Region endure, especially serious in area III.

This resolution comes to recognize, implicitly, the need to change the citation model "own area III" responsible for the blocking of medical agendas, on what has been claiming the PSOE incessantly in recent years.

Sánchez Jódar insists that, along with the lack of health personnel, the current citation model is responsible for thousands of people in a "limbo", waiting "without appointment" for first consultation of specialties.

Remember that 40% of the more than 22,000 patients throughout the Region of Murcia without appointment for first consultation are in health area III, that is, divided between Lorca and the rest of the municipalities in this area.

Among other measures, the managing director of the SMS dictates in its resolution that, from it, each patient will be assigned a time in which he will be attended, thus avoiding citing all patients at the same time.

In addition, as a novelty, it is established by law that appointments for first consultation with a specialist must be made in the respective Primary Care Health Centers, thus avoiding "mailboxes, dietary and deferred appointments", and travel to the area of ​​admission for consultation of the Rafael Méndez hospital in a "continuous transfer of comings and goings, in search of open agendas, where the only answer is to leave your flyer here, which we will call you".

Despite the progress, and the "positive" of this publication, Sánchez Jódar doubts that the current management of area III will pay attention to this resolution of the manager of the Murcian Health Service.

The mayor assures to have proof that area III management has, for a month and a half, this resolution without, to date, have adopted extraordinary measures aimed at solving waiting times and, therefore, to the improvement of the quality of care.

Therefore, from the PSOE again ask Gil Jódar to "get the voice out of the body" and "require the management of area III immediate compliance with the present resolution of the managing director of the Murcia Health Service", by which approves the instructions for improving the continuity of care for patients between primary care and hospital care.
