WHAT SOCIAL POLICY DO WE WANT? FOR OUR FUTURE?
The Regional Fund and the National Fund for Non-Self-Sufficiency serve to finance social and health services aimed at people who are not self-sufficient and those who care for them.
The establishment of the Fund has the objective of consolidating and qualifying existing services, but also of developing new responses and interventions especially in the area of the homes of non-self-sufficient people and those with very serious disabilities. Another strategic objective of the Fund is that of equal access to services by all citizens of the region.
In order to maintain the resources of the Regional Fund, the Central North District Committee has chosen a policy of cuts.
The year 2015 will see on the one hand 35 fewer beds in agreement in accredited nursing homes, and on the other a 20% cut in the provision of care allowances, a fundamental tool for home care.
Faced with a significant demand for assistance, instead of thinking about a possible reorganization of services that does not put families in difficulty, the recipe that has become very fashionable in recent years is applied, that of CUTS!!!
For us, these political choices are unacceptable and we believe that this should not be the path to take, just as we cannot think of using the new ISEE to reduce benefits instead of redistributing them with fair criteria.
