Given the lack of foresight and action by the Councilor for Social Rights, Conchita Ruiz Caballero, on August 12 the Respiro Familiar service will be interrupted, serving 83 families.
08.08.2018 The councilor of Cambiemos Murcia, Margarita Guerrero Calderón, has warned today of the serious damage that will mean for one of the most vulnerable groups in our municipality, families with people in situations of dependency, the interruption of the service "without a clear date of resumption . "
'Respiro Familiar' includes from the active company, the accompaniment to walks and aid for travel, to cleaning tasks and administration of oral medication and food, among others, of dependents by qualified professionals, and is provided with a duration maximum of 16 hours per month, eight consecutive hours, between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m.
Guerrero recalls that his training already reported last May the interruption of service due to the expiration of the contract of the City of Murcia with the company that managed the service.
Since the municipal training was already called at the time to find the appropriate recruitment mechanism to continue providing this service, which although not serve a large number of users, it is "a respite" to the beneficiaries of it, has affirmed the aedile.
In response to the request of Change, was found the technical formula to continue providing the service, and as declared Councilor Ruiz Caballero in media, was going to manage a "bridge contract" for six months to continue serving users, analyzing in addition, the most vulnerable cases to offer other resources.
However, we find that the "bridge contract" has not yet been managed and in the imminent interruption of service on August 12, a situation that, in the words of Guerrero, "evidences once again the lack of foresight of the government team "
Faced with the breach of the promises of the Councilor for Social Rights, Guerrero said that "the Councilor Concepción Ruiz Caballero has not been able to comply with his own word." In May he claimed "not to be carried away by the alarmism" but the reality is that in the summer 83 families will be deprived of the Respiro Familiar service and 19 professionals will be dismissed. "
The interruption of the Respiro Familiar service will not only leave 83 families in the middle of the summer, but will also mean the dismissal of the 19 professionals currently working in the service.
Thus, Guerrero asked the councilor Ruiz Caballero "in what situation are the professionals, some with more than 10 years old, who next August 12 go to the street?"
"Once again, our neighbors are the most vulnerable who have to pay the consequences of the disastrous management of Councilor Concepción Ruiz Caballero in front of the Department of Social Rights."
The mayor has urged, once again, the Department of Social Rights to seek the solution so that the Respiro Family service does not stop being provided on August 12.
