The microscope of the Parliament will again be put under the microscope of the Parliament next week on the problems that are observed in the YESY and in the health sector in general. Medicines not included in the system were a hot topic for members of the Parliamentary Health Committee on Thursday, with MPs pointing out that they receive daily complaints from patients who expect to receive their medicine and it is not available.
Particularly sensational were the reports of DIKO MP Chrysanthos Savvidis, who complained to the Health Committee that there are hospitals that do not have sheets and blankets.
Savvidis also said, among other things, that "hospitals from other districts are forced to send sheets for washing to the Nicosia General Hospital."
Speaking to the Cyprus[/B][/B] Times[/B], the spokesman of the OCYPY, Haralambos Harilaou[/B], responding to the MPs' reports, said that: "if there is in consumables any shortage, it does not mean it is due to poor planning. Consumables are not manufactured in Cyprus, but abroad. There are many different reasons that can delay consumables coming to Cyprus, such as the war in Ukraine."
Asked whether the reports of MP Savvidis are correct, Mr. Harilaou said that: "when you have a modern laundry factory do you have to make each hospital separate? I don't see what the problem is."
"We have a modern laundry - which is like a factory - that does not exist anywhere in Cyprus and which has the capacity to wash the whole of Cyprus, not just the hospitals," he added. Harilaou replied that Limassol has its own facilities and covers its needs to some extent, "but the laundry is done at the Nicosia General Hospital."
At the same time, Mr. Harilaou indicated that this procedure is in the financial interest of the Organization. "It is one thing to have all your machinery and trained staff in one place and another to create a separate small unit in each hospital."
At the same time, Mr. Harilaou indicated that this procedure is in the financial interest of the Organization. It was created after a study by experts."
