The Councilor of IU-Greens, Gloria Martín, recalls that at the municipal plenary in November, at the request of their training, the local government team pledged to demand from the Ministry of Health the definitive implementation of this health infrastructure The next year
The Councilor of United Left Greens in the City of Lorca, Gloria Martín, today showed its displeasure because in the investment projects of the Murcian Health Service (SMS) planned for 2017 and contemplated in the draft Law on General Budgets of the Community, only appear a game of 600,000 euros to undertake the second phase of the center Santa Rosa de Lima.
This will make this year Lorca also can not count on the integrated center of high resolution announced in 2009.
Martín recalled that at the November municipal plenary session, at the request of IU-Verdes, the local government team undertook to demand from the Ministry of Health of the Government of the Region the definitive implementation of this health infrastructure in 2017, Which would allow to expand the portfolio of benefits in the Health Area III with a service in which serious diseases are diagnosed in a single consultation.
Therefore, Martin has lamented that the game is "manifestly insufficient" to complete the action.
Specifically, the second phase of Santa Rosa de Lima needs a budget of 1.8 million euros, plus another 4.2 million to carry out the development of the third and fourth phases.
"600,000 euros remain in a mere declaration of intent and do not solve the urgent needs of users of public health in Area III," said Martin.
Therefore, the mayor of IU-Greens has asked the mayor of the city, Francisco Jódar, to "press" for which the PP "amends its own document" and the high resolution center can serve the citizens the year next.
"It is not a whim of IU-Greens," Martín explained, but "a vital need" and the obligation of the regional government to fulfill a commitment that it acquired eight years ago.
No CAP, no SUAP in San Diego
IU-Verdes spokesman Pedro Sosa has also reported a 200,000 euro item for the "pediatric adjustment" of the San Diego Health Center, in the same space where a few months ago Jódar said that the Primary Care Emergency Service (SUAP) on the basis of hygienic and sanitary reasons and the danger to professionals and users of public health.
Sosa recalled the "unanimous" commitment of the Regional Assembly expressed last May to enable a Point of Continued Attention (PAC) in San Diego while a new SUAP was being built in the area of ​​the San Cristobal neighborhood.
Neither of the two actions appears in the SMS 2017 budgets.
The mayors of IU-Verdes have lamented the "blatant non-compliance" of the assembly agreement and show their perplexity at the fact that, for example, the regional budgets do contemplate the construction in 2017 of a new SUAP in the municipality of Murcia, which will count With four primary care emergency services compared to the only one available to Lorca.
The City of the Sun also will not have a new health center next year unlike what will happen in Algezares, Sangonera La Verde, Lorquí or Fortuna.
"Jódar, as mayor and regional deputy, must be able to attract for his municipality the investments that its citizens need and that favor the territorial balance so that Lorca is not relegated in the investment chapter of the regional government," said .
