- Juan José Molina: "If you are not able to predict when these pressure peaks can occur, at least you should prepare for the unexpected and reinforce the template with the figure of the eventual that is expressly for cases like this", explained the orange deputy .

- "The Minister of Health is limited to saying that it is something timely, denies the lack of foresight, congratulates the workers with impudence for bearing an excessive workload, and blames the users for taking captious photos of the beds in the corridors when today we know that some thirty patients have spent the night in lobbies forcing relatives to accompany them standing, "denounces the spokesman of Cs Cartagena

On the occasion of the high pressure during the last five days in the emergency service of the Hospital Santa Lucia that has caused the crowding of patients in the pits, in the waiting rooms and to keep the corridors full of beds, the regional deputy of Citizens , Juan José Molina recalled that "we already proposed in the Assembly a shock plan to prevent the episodes that occur year after year, for example in the times when there is influenza and that end up collapsing the urgencies of hospitals and filling the corridors of beds. "

The orange deputy makes reference to the initiative that Cs registered in January for the implementation of measures to reinforce emergency services and prevent the collapse in hospitals during periods of epidemic spikes;

Among the proposals of this plan is the improvement of coordination among primary care professionals, the establishment of 24 care points in health centers that need it most during unforeseen peaks and that the cuts made in the last few years are reversed. years by the Murciano Health Service.

In opinion of Molina, the Ministry must take advantage of the execution of that plan to mark a response protocol for contingencies like the current one, and have a reinforcing action plan for unexpected peaks of healthcare pressure such as that suffered by Saint Lucia, "that plan of shock goes to reinforce the Primary Care and for moments like the one that is suffering now Cartagena as La Verdad has denounced, the Murcian Health Service can and should resort to the eventual hiring that is precisely for moments like this one, that is to say, to reinforce the templates to deal with these peaks of pressure, these outbreaks of overcrowding. "

"If they are not able to foresee when these episodes may occur, they should at least prepare for the unexpected and agilely reinforce the template with the figure of the eventual that is expressly for such cases, and take advantage of the closed rooms", explained the orange deputy .

For his part, the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has described the situation as "Dantesque and improper of this century, and of our regional health system."

"Although this overcrowding has taken place throughout the week, the SMS has not reacted, opening the rooms that are closed (the Pre-admission Unit and Unit 25), or giving the order to hire external personnel," Cartagena not only have to suffer the worst waiting list, a primary care without strengthening, a Hospital del Rosell that still does not take advantage of 100% or quality care in the emergency room of Santa Lucia deficient, but we have to endure an outrageous inability to react and lack of information on the part of the Health Area Management, "Padín has criticized.

The spokesman lashes today against the Ministry of Health, the counselor, to questions of journalists, has failed to explain the origin of the collapse, nor has taken a decision on the need to strengthen the workforce with new hires, "the Minister of Health He limits himself to saying that it is something punctual, he denies the lack of foresight, he congratulates the workers with impudence for supporting an excessive workload when it should guarantee them a decent schedule, and he blames the users for making captious photos of the beds in the corridors when we know today that thirty patients have spent at least one night in halls forcing relatives to accompany them standing up. "

"I hope the counselor will rectify his statements and start working to subvert a situation that can only get worse," concludes Manuel Padín.
