Overview
- PSPV alleges the town has shifted the home-help service to full privatization, awarding over €5.2 million to outside firms, and claims 52% of contracted care is not being delivered.
- City officials reject the charge and say two areas that drew no bids are being re-tendered, with affected users receiving interim attention from municipal auxiliaries.
- The administration acknowledges waiting lists in zones 1 and 2, stating the auxiliary staffing pool was exhausted but renewed in August and candidates are being contacted.
- Compromís submits formal questions on staffing, user coverage and timing, asks if San Rafel and Centro will be contracted out, and seeks clarity on a local office for the Galician provider.
- Socialists cite only 13 municipal auxiliaries and some waits exceeding a year, and say coordination is run from Galicia, while the council notes the Sant Josep contractor also works in PSPV-governed Gandia.
