The judicial investigation of the Government of the Junta de Andalucía for the hand-picked awarding of almost 300 million euros to private healthcare based on a repealed law and the entry of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office have accelerated the news regarding the actions of the Junta in health contracting. But in a more everyday matter, related to the large number of patients on the waiting list, the management of the Moreno Executive has not gone badly, at least judicially, in the White Tides’ attempt to have the Board knowingly assume some responsibility. that 200,000 Andalusians are waiting to have surgery, with the second highest average delay in the country (169 days) according to the latest official figure.
As SevillaelDiario.es has learned, the Prosecutor’s Office has overturned the complaint that Marea Blanca Sevilla made last Thursday, October 17, when, in unison, they filed eight complaints at the headquarters of the eight provincial prosecutor’s offices in accordance with the forecast of the Andalusian Coordinator of White Tides. According to the same sources, it has been the only official response from the representatives of the Public Ministry, in a negative sense, to the claims of the complainants, publicly supported above all by the Socialist Parliamentary Group, which is blaming the management. health of the Moreno Government.
The citizen group asked the Prosecutor’s Office if it would not be illegal for almost two million public health users in Andalusia to wait for an operation, for an appointment with the specialist and for a diagnostic test, taking into account that in the autonomous community there are laws guaranteeing deadlines for each process that “in recent years have not been complied with repeatedly.” Mareas Blancas provided figures for each province and examples of patients who, due to the delay in care, had suffered significant medical consequences.
Some of the cases reflected were published by this newspaper, such as the condemnation of the Andalusian Health Service for taking two years to diagnose lung cancer, or the condemnation of the Andalusian public health service for delaying eight months in diagnosing an ankle fracture. “It is very obvious that a person cannot take more than a year to be diagnosed because, if it is ultimately a serious illness, the delay due to lost time can lead to irreversible progression of the disease with consequent disability or even death,” They denounce the White Tides in their writings.
An ILP and a demonstration
“Diagnostic or therapeutic health waits, scandalously prolonged beyond what is medically reasonable, can cause irreversible progression of the organic alterations causing the disease, and can even cause the death of the person who is waiting to be diagnosed or treated,” it was summarized. in the document presented in Seville, which incorporated figures as of June of this year, the same date as the last update published by the Ministry of Health and which also raised a question from CCOO Andalucía which, also with data in hand, has assured recently that “Andalusia has the worst waiting lists in all of Spain.”
The defense of public health by Coordinadora Mareas Blancas Andaluzas also involves the processing in Parliament of a Popular Legislative Initiative (ILP) with which it is committed to “100% public health” in Andalusia, presenting 40,000 signatures of support although As they stated in their rally last week at the doors of Parliament, they hope to “get many more as a demonstration of the support of the Andalusian citizens.”
In that sense, this coming Sunday the Andalusian Coordinator itself has already called for demonstrations in seven provinces next Sunday, November 17 (in Cádiz it will be the day before -Saturday, November 16-) under the motto ‘Move for your health’.
