The strike of health workers, and only yesterday of nurses, has changed the care activity in health centers in Girona. Specifically, until yesterday, the primary care center management staff had not given new appointments for the analysis, and appointments that had already been scheduled were canceled through a text message on the mobile phone.
The Ministry of Health issued a decision setting a series of minimum services for urgent and non-postponable activities. In out-of-hospital assistance centers, urgent assistance is guaranteed during the regular hours of each center. This service will be provided to 25% of the workforce.
However, according to Salam. The numbers following the strike are very poor On none of these days did it exceed 6%. Yesterday, the first day that the strike focused solely on nurses, the follow-up rate on the morning shift in Girona was 1.5%, and on the afternoon shift it was 0.6%. The health area with the most monitoring was Penedès in the morning (7.1%) and Camp de Tarragona in the afternoon (8.3%).
Nurses have begun an indefinite strike as a sign of protest against the new agreement with the Catalan Institute of Health and, in parallel, they are also demanding improvements for the staff of the network of coordinating centers. They feel sorry that salary improvements are not enough and that they should belong to a higher job category.
