"The PP continually shows that is not interested in the welfare of Murcia and Murcia, and that social policies are never a priority for his government team."
With these words has referred the Municipal Group Socialist councilor, Susana Hernandez, the 17% cut in the budget of the services of municipal day centers.
"The statements of the Councillor of Social Rights are unacceptable. It can not ensure that the service will not suffer any injury when cutting the PP will, for example, that in the Day Care Centers of Barriomar and Cabezo de Torres nursing care through twenty five thirty hours a week, and the Beniaján of twenty hours to seven, "said the mayor of the PSOE.
Susana Hernández regretted that some professionals are going to cut up to 75% office hours to users.
"We are talking about a significant cut which, inevitably, will undermine the quality of care and services to Murcia and Murcia who come to these centers."
In the case of Barriomar and Cabezo de Torres, five nursing assistants spend four, fifty hours less care a week.
In Beniaján, they lose up sixty-one hours on this service.
These cuts are joined by a 50% less aimed at occupational therapy hours and, in some centers, the opening hours of social work are reduced by half.
"The PP repeats again and again that his priority is the welfare of people, but their form of government says the opposite. Cut in the care they receive the most vulnerable groups is a sign that the PP does not believe in social rights, "said the councilman of the PSOE, who has insisted that the Socialist Group will continue to require the PP government really bet on social welfare:" the PP must move from words to do, for the sake of Murcia and Murcia ".
