The Minister of Social Action of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Marián Franquet, announces an unprecedented reinforcement of the structure and personnel of the Institute of Social and Socio-Health Care (IASS) with which the social care provided in the Island.
Marián Franquet highlighted the approval yesterday by the Governing Council of the new List of Job Posts (RPT) of the Cabildo de Tenerife attached to the IASS, which contemplates the incorporation of 28 new civil servants to the administrative structure of the Institute, whose staff increases from 70 to 98 people, and that it entails a change in the organizational model.
“This is the first time in 20 years that the IASS staff is reinforced, which in the last two decades has maintained the same structure despite having to manage triple the budget since it was created,” said the counselor.
He also stressed that the objective of this initiative is to “strengthen the quality of services and incorporate an operating model that responds to the current needs and realities of social action in Tenerife and the services we provide from the IASS, both directly and through support for the nearly 40 entities that make up the Social Policy Ring, with which 31,000 people are served throughout the island.”
The third vice president also adds that this reinforcement is essential to “be able to provide better care to citizens, fulfilling the commitment to promote the socio-health capacity of Tenerife and third-sector entities.”
“Improving the lives of people, and specifically of the most vulnerable groups, is our responsibility and we could not allow the lack of human resources to stop the actions that were demanded and that it was necessary to implement,” he said.
Franquet explained that the new List of Job Posts generates a new structure of the IASS, which goes from having a single unit to four new administrative services (Childhood and Family, Gender Violence, Dependency and Works, Heritage and Maintenance) with which will be able to work on addressing future challenges, such as the deployment of the social agreement, the increase in care resources for dependency, the execution of the Social and Health Infrastructure Plan or the payment time of subsidies to Third Sector entities.
