More funding for municipal social services
On the other hand, Violante Tomás also mentioned that the Autonomous Community finances with more than 1.3 million euros the Municipal Social Services of Cartagena.
This endowment has increased by 5.8 percent over last year in order to serve the citizens of this municipality.
The Community has recently granted a nominative grant for a total amount of 1,337,575 euros to finance the Social Services of Primary Social Care of the City of Cartagena.
The Social Services of Primary Care will allocate this budget to the hiring of three more social workers, since they constitute the first level of attention of the social services system.
"The aim is to ensure the attention, promotion and inclusion of people with social needs as important as situations of dependency or processes of social exclusion.This is reflected in the funding for the maintenance of current professionals and a relevant budget injection "said the counselor.
