The Councilor for Social Welfare, Candelaria Delgado, has accused this Friday Nueva Canarias (NC) of "using" the Parliament to "discredit" the Association of people with disabilities of Lanzarote (Adislan).
It has done so in connection with NC deputy Natalia Santana denouncing in parliamentary committee the "deficient management" by Adislan of several centers it manages on the island, and supporting her intervention with the broadcast of a video in which dirty mattresses and with bedbugs are seen.
Delgado has assured that Santana "manipulates the object of the question", focused on the concert of the entity's residence service with the Cabildo de Lanzarote, since this, he has assured, was recorded a year ago and corresponds to a functional home linked to this entity.
"Mixing it as if it were the residence is to misinform. This is not political oversight, it is to use Parliament to support certain revenges or I don't know what," Delgado added.
He confirmed that a year ago there was "a specific episode of bed bugs" in said functional home and that "what is done in any serious resource was done: the protocols were activated" and the situation "was resolved quickly".
As for the residence, he/she/it explained that the Government of the Canary Islands carried out an inspection and issued a report with observations on the compliance with the regulatory framework, from which a procedure for requesting documentation for its rectification was opened".
After which, he continued, the center has been correcting what was required and, according to the inspection file, it is valued that Adislan "works adjusting to the regulations and only specific documentary aspects remain".
It has also said that the Cabildo of Lanzarote has made "an intensive follow-up" of the concert, as well as supervision visits at different times and on occasions without prior notice in recent months and years.
And added "an especially relevant fact: since the start of the concert, no complaint or claim has been received from relatives or users regarding the operation of the residence".
Natalia Santana (NC) has admitted that perhaps she phrased her question poorly, but in any case she has reaffirmed that the centers managed by Adislan suffer from "overwhelmed ratios", "inhumane temperatures" in summer, facilities that are not prepared for emergencies, mattresses "in undignified conditions" and "insufficient food".
