They warn that, contrary to what is established by law, in the region, economic provision remains the predominant one, far above services.
Adoración Peñas, councilor of IU-Greens of Lorca, again denounces the nefarious management of the regional government in relation to the Law of Dependency.
After knowing the last report of the Association of Directors and Managers of Social Services in which we have learned that 120,000 Large Dependents continue to be neglected in our country while the figures of the System incorporating Moderate Dependents with low cost services are put on make up, the situation In the Region of Murcia and in Lorca continues to be unfortunate.
In the first place, the fact of having an increasingly lower percentage of funding by the General State Administration, and without an effective increase in the General State Budget in 2017 due to the central government's frontal rejection, is of little help. In the danger of growing up with mediocre attentions that do not suppose real support to the people and that are not source of employment.
To this must be added that every day about 100 dependents die in Spain without receiving the benefit or service to which they are entitled, and has been recognized;
More than 18,000 people died in this situation, in this first semester;
More than 40,000 in 2016.
Concerning funding the worrying thing is that the AGE maintains the financing values ​​of the minimum level of 2012 (cut by the RD-Law of July 13, 2012).
The increase of 100 million euros in the General Budgets of the State of 2017 (on the initial budget of 2016), is useless if the amounts of the Minimum Guaranteed Level per servant attended are not modified, reaching the point that it is quite possible that The committed state funding is spent.
As long as dependents die without receiving the services to which they were entitled, the AGE will have part of the budget included in the PGE.
To this national panorama, we must add the continuous cuts in regional social policy, which place our autonomous community as one of the worst valued at the national level in terms of dependency management.
The mayor denounces the opacity of the regional government to deal with everything related to this so transcendental issue for the welfare state.
In fact, they say that in the regional web the only updated statistics do not usually coincide with those of the MTAS and the sociological analysis of profiles, benefits, needs and social structure of the population, etc., has not been renewed since 2011, much earlier Of the significant budget cuts introduced in July 2012 that left the Unit at a low level.
For Peñas, in addition to the budgetary factor and closely linked to it exists in our region the problem of waiting lists and the type of benefits perceived by users.
On the one hand, and despite the fact that the number of people served since 2015 has increased since the inclusion of all people with grade 1, (an increase that does not correspond to a greater investment of the System), the waiting list remains enormous and shameful , Estimating the experts that at this rate would take more than five years to finish with the waiting list.
Peñas pointed out that more than 300 people in Lorca (308 as of June 30, 2017) do not receive any benefits despite having a firm resolution approved and are on the waiting list, regardless of the severity and degree You have recognized him.
This has important repercussions on funding, as the increased support needs of people with grades III and II generally make their care more costly, so the regional government resolves this issue with a high number of low- Cost of tele-assistance (216), 1 person receiving home help, compared to the provision of care in the family environment with 1,123 concessions, 49.97% of the total, despite the dependency law states that services Rule and economic benefits should be the exception.
From IU-Verdes denounce the scarce investment in residential centers and day centers, as well as coverage with low-cost benefits to Large Dependents or Severe Dependents, which are the ones that require the most attention and with greater urgency.
Once again, the cuts in social policies have their direct repercussions, first of all on the most vulnerable and in need of social protection, as well as on the employment generation of the SAAD. This is another consequence of low-cost care and the return of the economic benefit for care in the family environment.
In this sense, from the political formation denounce the situation to which the regional government of the PP has given to Murcia dependents and their families, as well as the complacency of the political leaders of the city of Lorca who have not raised their voices against their superiors Regional organizations, turning their backs on the needs of Lorca and demanding a policy change in which the center of attention are affected, regardless of any economic considerations, as well as a greater commitment to Lorca citizens than with His political party.
