Abstract

The difficulties of a minimally effective and dignifying response given by the Emergency Services at hospitals of the National Health System are recurrent.
The reasons have been exhaustively scrutinized and we all know that they are: - structural, due to the response that should be global to access, with easier assistance in Health Centers, with greater diffusion and dissemination of Basic Urgencies; - cyclical, according to the periods of the year when there is greater pressure caused by an increase in the incidence of seasonal diseases and due to the holiday seasons, when it is more difficult to maintain scales with the scarce human resources usually available.
