Health has carried out 140,266 medical acts

The special plan, which is still in force, was launched last year with a budget of 18 million euros.

Health Service professionals have carried out 140,266 medical acts in extraordinary hours – in the afternoon – since the shock plan to reduce waiting lists was launched. According to the provisional balance of this special plan, which is still in force, of the 140,266 medical procedures carried out from April to December 2022, 5,170 were surgical interventions, 83,813 outpatient consultations, 15,026 cabinet tests and 35,647 radiological tests.

This plan to incentivise the extraordinary activity of professionals in the afternoon began in the second quarter of last year with a budget of eighteen million euros. It was conceived with the aim of reducing delays for surgery, a consultation with a doctor or a diagnostic test after scheduled hospital activity slowed down due to COVID-19.

By hospital and up to the month of December, the activity was as follows:

It should be recalled that in March 2020, dual circuits – respiratory and non-respiratory – were created in Health Service hospitals to isolate patients with COVID-19 symptoms and prevent contagion. In addition, during the peaks of the seven pandemic waves, hospital areas were restructured to reserve beds for COVID-19 patients in both ICUs and inpatient wards, and surgical activity was therefore limited to urgent and oncological interventions.
