Health centre victory in Spain

Lock-ins and mass demonstrations by patients and medical staff have borne fruit as the district healthcare management company relents over night services.

Marina Salud, the private firm which runs the public medical system in the Marina Alta, staged an unexpected about-turn on its decision to shut GP surgeries in Ondara, El Verger, Pedreguer and Gata de Gorgos between 22.00 and 08.00 on the grounds of insufficient demand.
The company said last July that the average of three patients a night who attended out-of-hours clinics did not justify keeping the practices open for emergencies.
