- For the spokesman of Cs in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, "it is necessary to resume the work that was done in 2016, and continue to optimize and strengthen the operating rooms in the two hospitals of Cartagena and improve coordination with the various heads of service and surgical officers , prioritizing processes and managing seniority "
"The grievance to Cartagena in this Autonomous Community at all levels is evident, verifiable, but it is especially painful when we talk about something as important as waiting for surgical interventions," said the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín. , after knowing the data offered by the Minister of Health, Manuel Villegas, in the presentation yesterday of the data of waiting list in the SMS to October 30.
"While all areas of the Region of Murcia have managed to reduce their margins, in the area of ​​Cartagena increases five days compared to last year, and the delay reaches up to 121 days on average, that is, that area where they would have to have focused the greatest public efforts to be the most deficient, worse still, it is a shame that gives us the exact measure of contempt that has this regional government of the PP with our municipality, "said Manuel Padin.
The orange spokesman stresses that this has been recognized by the councilor himself, "if Villegas himself admits that they are very worrying data, why did not that sincerity start a good dose of self-criticism and a battery of measures to solve it? ?, asks Padín who has reported that he has already transferred to his Parliamentary Group "the alarm that these numbers have generated in the Municipal Group of Cs" that have been interpreted as proof that the Ministry of Health, despite knowing the situation of Cartagena, has not put the necessary measures to change the negative trend since in 2017 were 116 days of waiting, and now 121 days while in Lorca are 64, "so we believe that the wait has been chronic in Cartagena in spite of all those hollow announcements that were made last summer that ten operating rooms were going to be started in the Virgen del Rosell University Hospital and the hiring of new anesthetists.
"It seems irresponsible to me that these announcements are made for nothing," laments the Cs spokesman.
For Manuel Padín, it is necessary to resume the work that was done in 2016, and continue to optimize and strengthen the operating rooms in the two hospitals of Cartagena and improve coordination with the various heads of service and surgical officers, prioritizing processes and managing seniority.
On the other hand, the regional deputy of Citizens, Juan Jose Molina, has indicated that "these figures show that Area 2 is still in the queue in the Region of Murcia, in Cartagena increases the wait in the lists for surgical operations, and for the first consultations with the medical specialists, there is no improvement in any of these fields and we understand that an effort must be made so that the citizens of Cartagena and their District have health care at least at the same height as the rest of the Region " .
