Inspectors found that in the waiting list for medical services X-ray of the pelvis and X-ray of the knee, patients were not classified according to the urgency of referral and thus patients were overtaken by others. “This means that some patients with lower urgency were treated before patients with higher urgency, which is contrary to the law on patients’ rights,” the inspectorate said. The inspectorate checked all the waiting lists for X-ray of the pelvis, knee and hip from 2025, hip replacement and knee replacement.
The hospital did not keep data on the existence of a medical indication for the classification of a patient for a specific appointment, which was also in violation of the law.
