NOW MURCIA denounces the closure of the pediatric service of Patiino's office for almost three months and almost two neighborhood of Progreso, "ignoring the express request of hundreds of neighbors and the will of the Plenary of the City of Murcia."

The spokeswoman of the municipal group, Alicia Morales, points out that "Now Murcia firmly believes that health services provided to citizens at no time of year and in any part of the municipality can be cut."

Therefore, the training has brought to the Plenum of the City Council these last three years motions "so that the Corporation asked the SMS and the Ministry of Health not to close doctor's offices or health centers in summer in our municipality, nor reduce schedules, but Although the motion has been approved every year, these cuts have not ceased to be so damaging to the neighbors. "

Morales points out that "last May the PP did not support our motion, and we now see these closures in the neighborhood of Progreso and in Patiño, which add to closures and reductions that were already taking place in other centers. Crossbow with public health and equality of all Murcia and Murcia leaves much to be desired. "

Now Murcia has written today to the Councilor for Health, Felipe Coello, to request information on the actions carried out by his Council to carry out, as stipulated the motion approved, "an active follow-up of the situation, schedules and conditions of the Health centers, doctors' offices and public hospitals of our municipality "in the summer months.

The Councilor stresses that "not only the agreement of the Plenum of the City of Murcia, but also that of the municipal council of Patiño, which recently approved a motion of Now Murcia, PSOE and Citizens, with the important work of our member, Isabel Vigueras, to demand the opening in summer of the office and the pediatric service.

"In addition," Morales said, "the petition of 650 neighbors of Patiño, who have signed these last weeks to request that he does not close the pediatric service, is ignored, as has finally happened."

The affected neighbors point out that "pediatric consultations will be closed almost 3 months, until September 30," and that they are referred to the Ronda Sur health center, "which is more than 2 kilometers away."

Users have stated that "it would be more equitable that half a day of pediatrics had been maintained in Patiño and a half in Ronda Sur."

Morales points out that "all the residents of Progreso and Patiño are disadvantaged by this measure of the PP, but there are groups that are especially bad to have to carry out a displacement of several kilometers, as is the case of elderly people who have to accompany To these children or people with disabilities.All of them, in addition, will be forced to face for a longer time the very high temperatures of the summer months and many of them to realize a notable expense in public transport. Their part, will be forced to increase their quota of patients. "

"In short, the municipal and regional PP again demonstrate that public health is not even among their priorities," says the mayor, "and also does not offer an equal time to all citizens, since a part of it Harms with cuts in basic and fundamental services. "
