Cartagena, Tuesday, May 14.

After the meeting held today to analyze the situation in which is Area 2 of Health and in which the managing director of the Murcian Health Service (SMS), Asensio López, the spokesperson for Citizens, Manuel Padín, has pointed out that "no matter where you look at it, the public information on this matter has been nonsense for which responsibilities should be purged immediately, if, as the SMS manager says, a study has been made and published with important conclusions, without scientific validity, without the control of the SMS or the Ministry of Health is serious and all communication protocols should be reviewed, especially those related to information as sensitive as mortality rates linked to partial services ".

"The SMS recrimina the alarmism that has been generated without taking any fault, not a single gram of self-criticism, perhaps the society of Cartagena and political parties have invented the study of cardiologists of Santa Lucia published on the website of the Spanish Society of Cardiology ?, asks Manuel Padín who responds that "what generates alarm is the lack of control of the SMS and the Community with the internal reports that are made and published".

On the other hand, "it seems to us little rigor to underestimate the conclusions of the cardiologists of the Cartagena center with data from 2010 to 2014 of the Minimum Basic Data Set (CMBD) record when the period studied by the Cardiology service refers to the last three years "warns the Cs spokesperson who adds that" it also seems contradictory to ensure that the partial schedule of haemodynamics in Cartagena has no impact on the mortality rate, and the extension of the service to 24 hours in 2020 is announced, in any In this case, we celebrate the decision that has undoubtedly been the direct consequence of the social clamor and not of a political decision of the PP Government. "

Health Council, without convoking for 14 months

The liberal spokesman has taken advantage of today's meeting to recriminate the failure to convene the Health Council Area II, "we have been waiting 14 months for a new convocation of this body when it should be convened every six months according to its own rules of operation. There is a lack of respect for all the members of the Board, a body of social participation for health issues that is not convened is a fraud ".

Mental Health Cartagena

On the other hand, Citizens recalls that has requested that this Council address the mental health situation in Cartagena, "we have requested that the next session be invited to the Association for the Community Integration of People with Mental Illness of Cartagena and Region (APICES ), they have been demanding the expansion of the Mental Health Center for 15 years, and they have proposals that seem viable to us and I think they deserve to be heard in the main body of participation in health matters ", says Padín, who pointed out that there are other important collectives that deserve be present as AFAL or TP CARTAGENA MM.

Cs has also demanded that the media be summoned "not only for the next session, but after each of the meetings of the Health Council, I think that public opinion deserves to know its development with the maximum possible transparency; what is discussed is not binding, but we can open to public opinion what is discussed and approved, currently it is really difficult to even access the minutes of the meetings, the last one does not appear on the website of the Ministry ", denounces Manuel Padín.

Citizens failed in the last regular session Health Counselor, Manuel Villegas, and the manager of Area II, José Sedes, for his management with hemodynamics, "but also for the structural collapse in Emergency, the lack of specialized personnel, lists waiting, the slow development of the Law of Rosell, discrimination against Cartagena in the implementation of school nursing, or the lack of transparency of epidemiological results in Sierra Minera, "recalled Padin.
