Last night the Plenary Session of the Alcantarilla City Council approved, with the votes in favor of the entire Opposition and the only abstentions of the Popular Party Group, the Motion submitted by the Municipal Socialist Group to demand the Study of the Rescission of the current Contract for the management of the Municipal Residence Virgen de la Salud de Alcantarilla.

"Given the succession of complaints and serious incidents in the service provided by the concessionaire, SERGESA, from this Socialist Group we consider it necessary and urgent to take, once and for all, decisive measures to stop this abandonment of such an important service and delicate ", said Lara Hernández, Councilor of the Socialist Group.

"This has been the third attempt, on the part of our group, to be able to fully discuss this serious issue, the two previous times the debate was impossible after we were not admitted to the Plenary Assembly, and we consider it vitally urgent that the study be carried out. of the possibility of rescinding the current existing contract, depending on what the requested technical reports tell us ", adds the Councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group.

"The repeated complaints and complaints filed by relatives of residents, as well as the report prepared by the Inspectorate of the Family and Equal Opportunities Council, dated January 2018, attesting and corroborating most of them, are from an undeniable gravity, which should have forced the Government Team of the Popular Party to maximize the control measures and to adopt the necessary correct decisions, including the termination of the contract, without the need to wait to be forced to do so by the Plenary's request, as It happened last night.

We are talking about the care of our elders.

Of respect, empathy and showing concern for their quality of life in this its last stage.

It is completely unacceptable that for eighteen years negligence has been happening that has been corroborated, countless complaints and that we have even had to mourn the deaths of dependents, as happened in July 2010 when an old man escaped from the Residence and did not appear until a week later, unfortunately, no longer alive, or in 2017 when another blind elder had a serious fall down the stairs near the elevator, which did not have a safety railing, and where he also had to mourn his death in later days, or the last example that occurred this past August when an elderly woman, aged eighty-one and suffering from a severe Alzheimer's disease, escaped from the same residence and walked through the streets of Alcantarilla for more than five hours without anyone account of his absence in the Residence.

It is incomprehensible and unacceptable that so far has not acted with the forcefulness that should have been after all these events.

Our elders and their families do not deserve this deficient treatment of those who should worry about caring for them and protecting them ", concluded Lara Hernández.
