Cospedal will take advantage of summer to deepen its cuts to health
María Dolores de Cospedal will take advantage of the arrival of summer to delve into her health cuts.After trying to close the night rural urgencies, a measure that finally could not carry out in the back of justice to the affected municipalities, has now decided to put the scissors in the Virgen de la Luz de Cuenca hospital.According to the Socialists, the president of Castilla-La Mancha will close several units of the center during the summer period.
Specifically, the Manchego PSOE has loaded against the PP general secretary for decree.This Cospedal decision puts the health of all patients at risk, since those income with infections will be taken to plants that are not prepared to handle and treat this type of ailments.
A decision, say the socialists, who does not stay there, but also joins the announced closure during the summer of the 1st A, of general surgery, and half of the beds of the Intensive Care Unit (UCI) of the hospital.All this, says the center's own manager, will double the cut in the budget announced by Cospedal for the Cuenca health area.
However, this decision has not only been denounced by the PSOE, but the center professionals have also loaded hard against it.Even, the Socialists say, given the lack of response of the Cospedal Executive to their claims, there are many who consider bringing to court the situation of the hospital.
These criticisms arrive a day after the mayor of the Toledo municipality of Madridejos, José Antonio Contreras, denounced the health cuts of Cospedal, and more specifically the fact that the Health Service of Castilla-La Mancha (SESCAM) did not have medicationenough to avoid contagios after an outbreak of meningitis.
Some cuts that the Manchega president itself launched a few months ago, when she decreed the closure of the nocturnal rural emergencies.However, shortly after, she was forced to reverse due to the support that the municipalities affected by the Superior Court of Regional Justice had achieved.
