The government allocates 822 euros for these centers and increases the dependency allocation
The impulse to social policy in the General Government Budget (PGE) will also reach the nursing homes. The government will allocate €822 million, 96 million more than last year, to the ‘Long-term Support and Care Plan: Deinstitutionalization, Equipment and Technology’, which aims to transform residential centers into a model of community and proximity services.
The budgets are increasing the allocation of social services and social promotion, growing by 15.2% to 7,117 million, of which almost half, 3,522 million, 21.4% more than in 2021, will go to dependent care. Specifically, this year there will be 620 million more in this game. According to the cabinet, this increase is aimed at “reducing the waiting list and the processing times for applications; to ensure that the working conditions of the people working in the System of Autonomy and Dependency Care (SAAD) are appropriate and to make improvements in the services and benefits that guarantee adequate care for dependents».
In addition, the allocation of the social contributions of non-professional informal carers of people in a dependency situation will be increased by 18 million to 185 million in the context of the economic provision for family care. For example, the executive underlines that during the legislature, dependency expenditures increased by 152% and went from 1,400 to 3,522 million.
