The councilor of the Socialist Municipal Group, Maite Espinosa, has criticized Friday "the lack of interest of the Ballesta government in the implementation of the nursing service in municipal schools."

Espinosa recalled that in July a motion was approved by the PSOE to introduce professional nursing staff in municipal schools and to urge the Departments of Education and Health to include health care in public schools .

"The motion of the Socialist Group was approved five months ago in the Plenum of the City of Murcia without we have seen its results, neither in the beginning of the school year nor in the course of these first months of class", explained the councilor Socialist, who has lamented "the lack of commitment of the government of Ballesta, who added a point to the motion to organize a coordination table between the city council, the Ministry of Health and the College of Nursing, and has not 'found' a Hollow in five months to organize it. "

"To date," Espinosa informed, "the only news we have is the meeting that the College of Nursing requested with Councilman Rafael Gomez and which did not establish any firm commitment, by the local government, to implement the service of Nursing in nursery schools ".

"We demand from the Ballesta government seriousness and speed in the inclusion of a very necessary service in our schools for children. The control and monitoring of students with chronic diseases or habitual health care are some of the most important objectives pursued by the initiative we defended since The PSOE and that the PP government should have already started, "said the Socialist mayor, who also recalled that" the College of Nursing itself produced a report analyzing the advantages of implementing the nursing service in schools Children, so we understand that the delay, once again, is the result of the team's dislike of Ballesta. "

Espinosa has called on the local government that the budgets of 2017 will collect the necessary financial resources to implement, with all guarantees, the nursing service in municipal schools, the responsibility of the City of Murcia.
