The regional deputy and secretary of Organization of Canary Coalition of Tenerife, Rosa Davila, and the nationalist spokesman in the City of Tacoronte, Alvaro Davila, denounce the stoppage of the expansion work of the clinic of the municipality, “some works that would have to be completed for more than three months.”
Rosa Davila announces that it will take this matter to Canary Islands Parliament and that it will ask the Government of Angel Victor Torres (PSOE) for the reasons of this delay in a work «so important for the residents of Tacoronte». The secretary of organization of the Tenerife nationalists recalled that these works “were promoted by the previous regional government of CC, but now, with the PSOE, everything has come to a standstill, and the worst thing is that we don’t know why “.
José Daniel Díaz (NC): “It is a temporary suspension”
The mayor of Tacoronte, José Daniel Díaz (NC), points out that last Thursday, August 27, he contacted the director of the Canary Islands Health Service (SCS), Conrado Domínguez, to clarify why the workers had left of the work: “He himself has transferred me that they have just signed a temporary suspension because, in order to continue with the work, a modified project needs to be drafted, which has to be done by the facultative management and, if the contractor accepts it, the work will be resumed It is an administrative matter, from what they affirm, since the work is well endowed in the budget of the Autonomous Community, as I have been able to verify. In principle they have given me the assurance that the work will continue “.
The former mayor of Tacoronte Alvaro Davila recalls that the health center “was built 30 years ago, but it needed improvements and an expansion to cover the needs of the municipality and its inhabitants. In 2009, the procedures for its expansion began, but with the previous crisis everything stopped ».
«In 2017, with CC in the Mayor’s Office of the municipality, we reactivated this matter, and the truth is that the Government of the Canary Islands and the Ministry of Health addressed our demands. In that year the drafting of the project was put out to tender, and in 2018, the award of the work. A process that ended on March 14, 2019», Explains Álvaro Dávila.
The expansion of the Tacoronte Health Center was awarded for 2.6 million euros, with an execution period of almost two years. «The works should be finished in the middle of June of this year, however, the works are paralyzed and we do not know why. We do not know if the company has gone bankrupt, if it has requested an extension of the terms or if it has made a modification. We have no information on what has been done and what is missing since everything is fenced off and no one provides information, “according to the CC-PNC spokesperson in Tacoronte.
