The cartagenerista formation will propose this measurement before the saturation of the sanitary system, that causes important inequalities and a precarious attendance
The Municipal Group MC Cartagena will request at the next Plenary session the support of the rest of the formations to demand that the Government of Spain initiate the processing of a regulation that sets and regulates the ratio of nursing professionals per patient.
In this sense, the councilor from Cartagena María José Soler, has assessed the "saturation situation in which the nursing services of our health system are found", which means that, usually, a professional must attend in the same work shift to fifteen hospitalized patients under their care, "which makes it very complicated to guarantee a humanized, safe and quality care".
Lack of regulation and inequalities in the service
Currently, in Spain there is no specific regulation on the maximum number of patients that nursing professionals can attend to ensure adequate care provision.
In this way, each health center makes these allocations based on criteria, in most cases, of an economic nature.
"This causes tremendous inequalities, not only between the different Health Services of the Autonomous Communities, but even among the health workers of the same territory," said Soler, who has also considered in this regard that "correcting the deficits of these professionals we would get a human health, safe and with better results ".
A law to guarantee the quality of nursing services
In short, the mayor of MC has stressed, "what we intend with this motion is to regulate the ratio of patients with a law that would ensure the quality of the provision of nursing services, thus ensuring a necessary, responsible, safe and equitable throughout the State. "
Spain is at the bottom of Europe in this ratio, increasing inequalities in recent years.
"This difference has been accentuated by the implementation of cost control measures, which has led us to lose the prestige of being one of the best healthcare systems," said María José Soler, who concluded by noting that " only Bulgaria, Latvia, Cyprus and Greece are below the Spanish figure. "
