The Government of Spain delayed now until 2012 the start-up of the National Reference Centre in Cartagena Parkinson, as reflected in a parliamentary answer and moved to the national deputy mayor Pilar Barreiro.
Barreiro asked last July to the officials of the Ministry of Labour and Immigration which were expected to tender the construction work of the Parkinson center in Cartagena as procurement and start of construction has been planned in the years 2006, 2007 and 2008 and to date has not started any administrative proceeding to begin the work.
Since the Government of the Nation again responds that the project is built in the 2009 budget of Inserso with a total amount of 12,939,000 euros and its commissioning is expected in 2012.
To Barreiro is a new unjustified delay and an insult to all Parkinson's patients, their relatives and representatives of the Federation of Associations of Patients in the Region of Murcia have been suffering for five years, the Government promises Spain.
The deputy mayor hopes that next year 2009 as the final for the start of works that were to have begun in 2003, when construction was agreed by signing an agreement between the City Council, Regional Government and Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.
For this, the City Council gave the Ministry a plot of 9,000 square meters in front of the new General Hospital in St. Lucia.
