TORREVIEJA Hospital´s Urology department is badly under-staffed, according to the CSIF trade union, who claim that the facility has just one urologist.
The union says that posts are not being filled in the department, with staff leaving for better working conditions.
The department originally was designed to have five urologists.
A CSIF spokesman said:- “A single urologist is simply not enough to cope with the number of elderly people who live in the area, as well as tourists”.
