The agency responded to the request made by Senator Juan Luis Castro (PS), who after the cases reported in the health facilities of Talca, Antofagasta and Sótero del Río.
The Comptroller’s Office reported some irregularities linked to waiting lists, This time in the San Borja Arriarán hospitals, the San José Hospital Complex and the Provincial Cordillera.
The agency responded to the request made by Senator Juan Luis Castro (PS), who, following the cases reported in the health facilities of Talca, Antofagasta and Sótero del Río, asked to review the non-GES waiting lists at the national level.
In this way, he discovered a series of inconsistencies in the records of these three hospitals in the Metropolitan Region, such as dual records, patients reported dead incorrectly and others outside the Waiting Time Management System (SIGTE), the legislator explained.
“Three reports have been published today from metropolitan hospitals where the serious discrepancy has been re-established, the duality of registration which means that in some cases there are even people who are declared dead who were not, or that in other cases there are several thousand patients who were in a system specific to a certain hospital and not in the national waiting system,” said Senator Castro.
The parliamentarian asserted that these irregularities point to “inconsistency because no call was made or inconsistency because what was not GES or AUGE was passed over by GES or because the people were never found. All this seems strange but it is the dramatic reality that the Comptroller’s Office continues to reiterate. There is a huge mess here where confidence in the State is being tested and where there is still no clear path forward so that the drama of being on a waiting list does not mean death but rather the real and certain hope of being able to be attended to.”
