Socialist deputy Rafa Simó has voiced his concern regarding the healthcare management of the Popular Party in the province of Castellón, stating that cardiology delays have reached "intolerable limits." According to Simó, this situation severely compromises patient care and requires urgent measures.
The PSPV-PSOE attributes the increase in waiting lists to a "privatizing" management approach by the PP, which is causing delays of up to 18 months for medical evaluations in cardiology. This reality, according to the socialists, creates an "authentic ordeal" for many patients.
“"They are forcing many people to live with the anguish of not having answers or medical follow-up."
The consequences of these delays extend beyond mere assistance postponement, directly affecting patients' emotional well-being and generating uncertainty. Simó has warned of the fear that the disease may progress unchecked or that diagnosis may come too late, endangering the lives of those affected.
The PSPV links this problem to a management philosophy that, they argue, pushes part of the population towards private healthcare, exacerbating inequality. Given this situation, the party demands the immediate implementation of a specific shock plan for cardiology in the province of Castellón, with concrete resources and measures to reduce delays.
The deputy concluded that a year-and-a-half wait in cardiology demonstrates that the Valencian healthcare system is overwhelmed, and criticized that neither President Pérez Llorca nor Minister Marciano Gómez have remedied this situation, failing to guarantee reasonable deadlines and eroding trust in the public health system.
