| Enrique Pérez: "The data reflects the absolute contempt of the regional government for those who need it the most" | Yesterday we knew the content of the report prepared by the Association of Directors and Managers of Social Services for which more than 600 people have died in the Region during this year, without having been able to access the dependency services they had requested. Of these, 356 were pending assessment, while a total of 262, despite having been recognized their right to benefits and services, had not been able to access these grants.

"In the current context and circumstances, the number of deaths of dependents on the waiting list has exploded, although it is not a new problem," explained MC Cartagena councilor Enrique Pérez. To these data we must add that "as of April, 1,888 people from Cartagena were still waiting to receive their benefit, of which 1,030 had not yet been valued and 858 have been valued but have not yet received their service or benefit" . The mayor regretted that "López Miras boasts of the management of the regional government during this socio-health crisis when the only reality is that the number of deceased on the waiting list is growing and almost 2,000 Cartagena are still waiting to receive their help to the dependence". "As we have been denouncing for MC years ago, if both the central and regional governments do not put letters into the matter, increasing financial support for the Dependency Law itself and with a greater optimization of resources, we will continue to have to regret some data that they indicate absolute contempt for dependents, denying them the social benefits they deserve, "Enrique Pérez concluded.
