CCOO claims Sagunto Hospital sent more than 14,000 tests to private firms in 2025
The CCOO union claims that in 2025 Sagunto Hospital referred more than 14,000 diagnostic tests to private entities.
The CCOO union has made public that during 2025 Sagunto Hospital referred more than 14,000 diagnostic tests to private entities. The union argues that this figure reflects a significant outsourcing of services that, in its view, should be provided within the department's public health system. For its part, the regional health authority explains that the department chooses to prioritise patients obtaining a diagnosis given the shortage of radiologists affecting the hospital. The issue has a direct impact on residents of Sagunto and the Camp de Morvedre district, who depend on this centre for their tests and diagnoses. The debate sets care pressure and the lack of specialised staff against the model of public management of healthcare in the health department. This information was released by Valencia Plaza.
