Comprehensive immediate measures are necessary to counteract an acute shortage of staff
Vienna (OTS) – “The dramatic developments of the last few weeks and months clearly show that the final collapse of the Vienna health system is not far away. The Vienna People’s Party has therefore initiated an urgent request to the responsible city councilor Hacker in order to get the long overdue answers from him, how he intends to deal with the situation,” explains health spokeswoman Ingrid Korosec in today’s Vienna City Council.
The accumulation of threat reports since last year should actually cause all the alarm signals to ring out at the responsible authorities in the city of Vienna. Above all, City Councilor Hacker, who is clearly responsible for the current ailing state of the health system. The provisional sad climax of the horror reports last week was the threatening closure of the emergency room in the Ottakring Clinic due to the acute shortage of staff. The temporary closure of the neurosurgical department at the Donaustadt Clinic is also due to the lack of nursing staff, which is evident in all WiGeV hospitals.
“These reports and reports of danger come directly from those affected – the doctors and the nursing staff – and should actually wake up all those responsible immediately. Instead, responsibility is pushed aside, appeased or simply denied. But this ignorance of any problems will not lead to any solutions, but only make the situation worse,” criticizes Korosec sharply.
As an urgent measure, she calls for a comprehensive reform of the Viennese health network, in the course of which a re-advertisement of the general director posts and a crisis summit with the health workers directly affected. “Clear answers and solutions are needed now for the future. No trend reversal will be possible with excuses and sticking on small patches as placebo. Measures must be taken that lay the foundation for the urgently needed revolution in the health sector. Take your responsibility at last true, Mr. City Council – following all, human lives are at stake here!” Korosec appealed to the hacker.
