The spokeswoman for Podemos in the Regional Assembly, María Marín, has demanded the urgent appearance of the Minister of Health to "give due explanations" to the "scandal" that are the statements of the former medical director of the Hospital de Cieza, of which they detached the "normalization as usual practice of hiding patients from waiting lists in hospitals in the Region."
The deputy said that "we do not think we should allow sowing the doubt about all the great public health professionals", but they believe it is necessary "a thorough investigation" to find out the truth of what can be "the tip of the iceberg "of the disastrous management of waiting lists.
Therefore, from Podemos they have claimed the "dismissal of the manager of the health area" of Cieza, in addition to initiating "as soon as possible that investigation", since they consider "urgent and clearly necessary, according to what is appearing in the media" that clarify "the circumstances, the reasons and the responsibility in the chain of command" of what has already become the indication of an "irregular practice that aims to camouflage the sick, while the waiting lists are extended to unsustainable limits."
Finally, Marín added that "the precarization model of the Public Health of the Popular Party is not accidental. It follows a strategy of discrediting the public and then justifying privatizations, concerts and outsourcing and creating two health models, one for which you can pay the private clinic, and another more similar to charity and charity than to a health model based on social justice.
