Left Bloc questions waiting times for first psychology appointment in the NHS

Now6 September 2026 at 19:10

The Left Bloc questioned the waiting times for the first psychology appointment in the National Health Service, warning about the access difficulties that users face.

The Order of Portuguese Psychologists estimates that more than 2.3 million Portuguese people need psychological support, which represents significant demand on the available services.

According to the Order's data, one in five Portuguese people suffers from psychological health problems, which demonstrates the magnitude of the mental health problem in the country.

This issue arises in the context of debates about the NHS's response capacity and citizens' access to adequate mental health care within reasonable timeframes.

BE demands reopening of radiotherapy in Évora and warns of travel to Faro

The Left Block demanded the reopening of the radiotherapy unit at Hospital do Espírito Santo in Évora, suspended since June 1st, and warned that hundreds of cancer patients are being displaced to Santarém, Faro or Lisbon to receive treatment. The party expressed concern about the situation and questioned the administration of the Local Health Unit of Central Alentejo about the measures to be adopted. The suspension was due to the replacement of equipment in an investment of four million euros, under the Recovery and Resilience Plan, in a service concessioned to Joaquim Chaves Oncologia. BE also recalled that a tender for a new concession, worth 18.6 million euros, was allegedly annulled by the Court of Auditors, and defended that radiotherapy technicians' jobs must be guaranteed.
