PSRM general secretary and spokesman of the Socialist Group in the Regional Assembly, Rafael González Tovar, has gone to the residence of AMPY accompanied by the Municipal Socialist Group spokesman, Asun Molina, the regional deputy for the Altiplano, Yolanda Fernandez, and several members of the local group.
On this visit he has asked the regional government not to delay further the long awaited opening of the residence of the Association of Mentally Handicapped Yecla (AMPY), which is completed, equipped with a number of people waiting to use it.
González Tovar, who met today in Yecla with the direction of the association, said that, with the approval taking place this week on the reform of the Social Services Law of the Region of Murcia to introduce therein the social figure of the concert, "there are no excuses to launch a residence yeclanas anxiously awaiting the affected families."
For the Socialist leader, social concerts from now allow awarding grants to so many associations and organizations of relatives of people who are doing throughout the region work that, in principle, corresponds to the Regional Administration.
"It makes no sense, therefore, that these associations, whose work is of incalculable social value, have been suffering, as in the case of AMPY in Yecla, many drawbacks and many delays to perform support services to families, "he noted.
"A society that does not serve their dependents, is a sick society. You can not continue to allow the family to bear the burden, treatment and care for people with mental illness or mental disability has to be borrowed from them Administration. The welfare state has to recover, and also open spaces for residence must be completely independent of the places that already exist in the day care center and they also have waiting lists ·.
