Waiting times for red and yellow wristbands in hospital emergency departments have increased. These wristbands correspond to high levels of clinical priority, where patients should be seen more quickly.
The Minister of Health argued that waiting times in emergency departments are significantly better than two years ago. However, the available data contradicts this statement, showing a more complex reality.
The data reveals that there are significant differences in waiting times depending on the assigned clinical priority. While some priorities may have improved, others, such as situations classified with red and yellow wristbands, show worsening in treatment times.
