The CC-PNC group in the Council has requested the investment of 5.7 million euros “for the construction of new social and sanitary places” that would be distributed in six new centers throughout the island. The nationalist spokesman, Carlos Alonso, remember that “there are 7,100 people in Tenerife who demand a place” and that “the PSOE has not built any new center in two and a half years.”
Canary Islands Coalition proposes a schedule that encourages the development of these endowments “in a balanced way.” Alonso points out in this regard that “it is necessary to promote construction to respond to the needs of the population.” He argues: “The demand has practically doubled in the last two and a half years, with more than 7,000 people on the waiting list and the government group has not built any new ones. They are objective data that anyone can consult ».
Distribution.
Carlos Alonso explains that Those 5.7 million euros would be distributed in investments for the Buenaventura Bonnet Social Health Care Center, in the disaffected school of the same name, located in the Ofra neighborhood, in Santa Cruz (450,000 euros); that of San Bartolomé de Geneto, in the municipality of La Laguna (500,000 euros); the Buenavista del Norte Residential Center for Disability Care (600,000 euros); the Sociosanitario de Granadilla (600,000 euros); that of Garachico (600,000 euros) and that of Arona (1 million euros). CC-PNC requests to increase the endowment in 210 places for the day centers of the Metropolitan Area with an item of 937,400 euros, as well as that of the Social Health Center of Añaza and the Santísima Trinidad, with 500,000 and 600,000 euros, respectively.
Amendments.
In its amendments to the CC budget, it has criticized “the low execution of investments in the area of Social Action with a drop of almost 1% in the Unit for Dependency Care.” They see it as “something contradictory with the increase in the number of people on the waiting list.” They add: “Globally, the area is only growing by 1.9%, the lowest rise in recent years.”
Previous projects.
Carlos Alonso points out that «Pedro Martin (president) and Marián Franquet (area counselor) paralyzed the Social Health Infrastructure Plan when they arrived at the Cabildo ». He adds: «Some works were stopped, such as CAMP La Cuesta, and now they are putting out to tender a center in Arico. They are projects from the previous stage and it is necessary to build the ones that we have programmed in order to meet the growing demand of the Tenerife population. ”
