Socialists work to ensure that the elders of the residence Domingo Sastre, most of them dependent, to have the geriatrician doctor who corresponds to him for the welfare of the users, for the peace of their families and for the relief of the rest of the workers

The councilor of the PSOE in the city of Lorca, Andrea Periago has denounced that the Institute Murcian Social Action (IMAS), dependent on the Regional Government of the Popular Party, has again left without a geriatrician doctor the elders of the residence Sunday Sastre de Lorca .

Specifically, the 98 users of the residence remain more than a month and a half without the doctor who corresponds to them, since the body dependent on the PP has not covered the previous clinician's discharge.

Periago says he does not understand the "little sensitivity and irresponsibility" of the PP Regional Government towards the elderly and, specifically, the users of the Elderly Residence Domingo Sastre de Lorca.

Andrea Periago recalls that it is not the first time that the Socialists denounce a similar situation, reason why assures the Regional Government is "recidivist" in the neglect to the demands and the necessities of this center.

As early as December 2016, the IMAS kept the elders of this residence without a doctor for several weeks, for failing to cover well enough the previous retirement doctor's discharge.

From the PSOE ensure that the absence of this doctor is not only suffered by the users themselves.

Andrea Periago adds that they are also the own professionals of the residence, who see altered their tasks to have to compensate this lack of necessary medical personnel.

A situation that, he considers, "is unsustainable for the proper functioning of the residence and for the welfare of these elderly people, since they have the right to have a geriatrician in the center."

Since the PSOE have immediately returned to the issue, and they are working, first, for the Family Counseling to respond to these serious shortcomings of medical staff in the Residence Domingo Sastre and, most importantly, to ensure that the mayor of the residence Domingo Sastre, most of them dependent, to have the geriatric doctor who corresponds "for the well-being of the users, for the peace of their families and for the rest of the workers."

In this sense, Regional Representative Isabel Casalduero has registered two questions in the Regional Assembly this week with which they will force the Family Counselor to respond to this serious situation and, in this way, to recognize a serious problem that must be addressed, as he insists, "the quality of care is at stake which by right must be guaranteed to these institutionalized majors."
