NOW MURCIA demands that the City Council use its social aid to facilitate an emergency dental prosthesis for those affected by iDental with low income who need it.

The platforms affected by the iDental scam estimate that in the municipality there may be about 200 neighbors who need a complete or partial prosthesis to normalize and meet the needs of their daily lives and prevent diseases.

Faced with this situation, now Murcia will defend a motion in the plenary on Thursday for the municipal government to study and apply the simplest and fastest procedure for those affected iDental low-income accredited can access the aid for the acquisition of dental prostheses of urgency

Councilman Miguel Angel Alzamora explains that "while the measures approved by the Congress of Deputies and the Regional Assembly become effective, at the municipal level it is necessary to address the urgent problem, which is transferred to us by the affected platforms, of which many of the the people who have been operated by iDental have run out of their dentures or without part of it. "

"Many of these people," says Alzamora, "are part of low-income families that can not access treatment in private clinics, and Public Health does not have the care they need in their service portfolio. cases, they need a dental prosthesis, even temporarily, as this is generating health problems related to the nutritional change, not being able to eat normally, a situation that is aggravated because it is lengthening over time.

The mayor says that these contributions of the City for those affected by iDental would have a place in the 'Ordinance regulating municipal financial aid for the care of social needs', while, if necessary, resources could be used from the Contingency Fund of the City Council, "which can be used for social purposes in emergency situations like this one if it is considered preferable not to extract all the resources from the 2018 budget for aid".

According to Alzamora explains, the professionals who have appealed to affected people have estimated that the maximum cost for the prosthesis they need will not exceed 500 euros, "so the necessary aid from the City would not exceed 100,000 euros if all affected people needed the most expensive prosthesis. "

The motion of Ahora Murcia also contemplates that the municipal government inform Social Services of the procedures to be followed for the access of those affected and those affected to the aids;

that the Department responsible for Health study the possibility of establishing an agreement with the Official Association of Dental Prosthetics or prosthetic laboratories of Murcia for the provision of prostheses;

and that the City Council establish a communication strategy to publicize the aid and inform the citizens and organizations of those affected and affected.

Miguel Angel Alzamora is convinced that "before the social emergency of this problem that affects health, the City of Murcia can and should provide important support to their neighbors and affected neighbors."
