The Municipal Administration hoped that this task would be simpler, but another government lost the opportunity to reserve land to provide the district with this service during the writing of the PGMO, a mistake that repeated with the signing of the famous urban agreements, which also did not provide endowment plots about.
The City Council of Lorca, through several councils, continues to work on the location of plots that may serve to build a health center equipped with emergency service in the area of ​​San Cristóbal.
This is a frankly difficult task due to the special needs of size and location required for the implementation of this service, difficulty increased by the lack of plots of municipal ownership that meet these criteria and the necessary technical conditions.
The Consistory has been inspecting "palmo a palmo" and on foot of the street this area of ​​the urban center, a work that is being carried out with the required discretion in this type of negotiations with individuals, and in which progress is being made in the last weeks.
From the Municipal Administration thanks the opposition who are now interested in an issue in which the City Council has been working for more than a year.
It should be made clear to all citizens that the location proposals they are proposing have already been analyzed by the technicians several months ago, stating that they do not meet the requirements, while the economic pretensions raised by the owners of other plots are, to this day , Not available for Lorca.
It is not enough to draw lines on a map, you have to be more serious.
Buzonear pamphlets is a legitimate but sterile job.
We offer to explain the situation, while we miss that they would have been interested in this matter.
The Municipal Administration hoped that this task would have been easier, but another government lost the opportunity to reserve land to provide the district with this service during the drafting of the General Municipal Plan Ordinance (MMP), an error that repeated only a few years later with the Signature of the famous urban agreements, that also did not provide endowments to the Lorca.
It is worth remembering that the Municipal Council will continue to demand more improvements and new investments to persevere in the advances that are already materializing in health care throughout the municipality.
In this line, a detailed study was requested from the Ministry of Health to make concrete the reality in this regard in our municipal term with the objective of responding to the demands expressed by the City and Lorca.
This is an application that has already been received by the Ministry, and which is working.
The Mayor has already transferred to the Ministry of Health his request that the urban area of ​​the city has two Primary Care Emergency Services (SUAP), one that is already operating in Sutullena, with the most modern facilities in the Region , And another one in the area of ​​San Cristóbal.
It should be noted that Lorca currently has a total of 7 centers in which are attended Emergency, divided into 3 Special Isolation Points (Ramonete, La Parroquia and Almendricos), another Continuous Care (La Paca), a UME, SUAP Sutullena and the ones of Rafael Méndez.
The line of work of the City Council in matters of Health is to continue making progress so that Lorca have better services and infrastructures.
In fact we must point out that in recent times the work of the Consistory together with the commitment of the Ministry of Health, has achieved that is running a battery of investments that exceeds 15 million euros, with such notable advances as the reform The expansion of the pediatric area of ​​the Rafael Méndez Hospital (€ 947,000), the construction of the Lorca Sutullena Health Center (€ 4.5 million) and the Rehabilitation of the Obstetric and Surgical Area Of the Hospital Rafael Mendez (3.5 million €).
