Statute overview

About this statute

This article says the right to specialized healthcare guarantee ends if certain events occur, such as the patient rejecting the offer on time, missing the appointment without justification, repeatedly asking to postpone care, or otherwise failing to meet applicable obligations. The Cantabrian Health Service must pay travel costs, companion costs, and related per diem for patients who need specialized, scheduled, non-urgent care outside Cantabria, under the tariffs and conditions set for that service. The Servicio Cántabro de Salud must publish quarterly information on its website about the number of patients on waiting lists for scheduled, non-urgent specialized care, and the same information must also be available at its offices. This article creates Cantabria’s patient waiting-list register for non-urgent specialized care, sets out who is entered and removed, lets patients get a proof of registration, and assigns management and rule-setting tasks to the health service and the health department. La consejería competente en sanidad debe elaborar un informe anual sobre listas de espera y presentarlo al Parlamento de Cantabria en el primer trimestre de cada año.
