Żurek on the Inquiry into Deaths at the Southern Hospital:
We Will Investigate Everything, Including Cases That Were Dropped.
- We will now attempt to conduct an inquiry; the inquiry has already begun. This means we are analyzing all cases in the prosecutor's office responsible for this hospital that have been active since 2023. In total, we have 32 proceedings that were in the prosecutor's office, but let us remember that these are not only proceedings related to the hospital's medical activities, but also such matters as threats or embezzlement. There were 12 cases concerning deaths over these years, and we have various situations here - stated Waldemar Żurek at a press conference.
- In 3 cases, the initiation of proceedings was refused, 4 cases were dismissed, and 5 cases are ongoing. So, one can say that the prosecutor's office is normally conducting proceedings in these matters - he continued.
- Regarding the cases in the Emergency Department (SOR), there were 5 cases concerning endangerment of life or health to immediate danger. In 4 cases, these have already been concluded. 3 cases were refusals, 1 dismissal, and 1 case is still ongoing - he noted.
- The prosecutor's office is working very intensively on this matter. I want to tell you that we will investigate everything, including those cases that were dismissed. I am directly supervising this case, but there is also supervision from the district prosecutor's office in Warsaw - said the prosecutor general.
