Palma.Minister Carmen Castro was speaking yesterday at the unveiling of a set of sculptures in the Children's unit at Son Espases hospital in Palma. She said that there had been a sudden surge in the number of people requiring Emergency attention at the hospital's A&E unit which had forced the opening of a ward and required the support of 14 nursing staff and a further 14 auxiliaries. The number of people waiting for attention is gradually diminishing, she said. In the last few days, there had been a gradual build up of Emergency cases in the A&E unit and on Tuesday 354 people queued for help. Of these, 13 percent were in need of further treatment and found hospital beds . This meant another 60 people had to be accommodated as in-patients, said the Managing Director at Son Espases, Juan Sanz yesterday. He said that the overload in A&E had been solved by the opening of a ward with beds for 25 and which could if needed be enlarged to accommodate 36.
