The Center for Sociological Research (CIS) has released the data from the latest wave of the health barometer, where, among other issues, emphasis is placed on primary care.

One of the points that is addressed focuses on the

wait to have a medical appointment with the Family doctor

in the last year and, according to the data collected,

23.3% of those surveyed who requested an appointment with their doctor had to wait 11 days or more

to be seen by him.

In general, those surveyed consider that the National Health System (SNS) "

works well, although some changes are necessary."

This is what 39.4% of those polled believe

, while 31.9% affirm that the system "needs fundamental changes, although some things work".

This third wave of the health barometer has been carried out among residents over 18 years of age in any of the 17 autonomous communities between November 14 and 18.

The sample was planned for 2,600 respondents and, finally, it has concluded with 2,512.

Of these, 48.5% are men and 51.1% women.
