The Calpe government team (Somos Calpe, PSOE and Compromís) has presented a motion to the ordinary May plenary session to be held this afternoon to ask the Regional Ministry of Health to take over the health infrastructure plan that Marina Salud did not carry out. Among these infrastructures is the extension of the Calpe health centre and its conversion into an integrated health centre.
According to the sixth clause of the contract between Marina Salud and the Regional Ministry, the company was to carry out the construction of an Integrated Health Centre in Dénia, a Health Centre also in Dénia and an Integrated Health Centre in Calpe, commitments that after 18 years of the contract were never materialised. "All this constitutes a serious breach of the signed management contract and of the specifications and the rest of the regulations that made up the tender and to which the concessionary company was firmly bound", the motion points out.
It emphasises that these infrastructures are even more necessary after 18 years, taking into account the demographic increase in the health area, the increase in visits derived from tourist activity and the absence of complementary or alternative infrastructures to replace those foreseen in the plan.
The proposal reproaches the Conselleria for not having taken any action against Marina Salud "thereby also failing to fulfil its obligations as the contracting body and signatory of the management contract" and that the Conselleria itself has not included these infrastructures in its investment plan for health infrastructures, as it is now the Generalitat which has the competence to undertake these works.
For this reason, it will now urge the Regional Ministry of Health to take on these infrastructures, giving them "absolute priority, bearing in mind that they have been delayed for almost 20 years". Likewise, the Corts Valencianes will be asked to make the appropriate credit modifications so that these centres can be executed and this agreement will be passed on to the Regional Ministry of Health, to the Presidency, to the political groups of the Corts and to the regional deputy Calpeina Noelia Císcar "as a person directly affected by these shortcomings".
