The San Bartolomé City Council has announced the transfer to the Canary Islands Government of a plot of land of 1,917 square meters on Fayna Street, in Playa Honda, to house the new Playa Honda Health Center.
This decision was made after the approval of the removal of public domain from this place in the plenary session held this week. The new Health Center will be located behind the Civic Center.
From the Consistory they maintain that this responds to the request of the General Directorate of Economic Resources of the Canary Health Service, which contemplated in the document “the needs to be able to carry out the construction of the new Center” modifying the current buildability of the plot, going “from a social use of “1 square meter per square meter to 1.5 meters”, and the occupation “from 50% to 75% to distribute the requested meters on the two floors”.
“This meets the needs raised by the Functional Plan in which the real needs of the Center are dictated according to the population”, says the Councilor for Works, Raúl de León.
The mayor, Isidro Pérez, states that this step, which has culminated a complex administrative procedure, means that “the new Playa Honda Health Center is getting closer and closer, which will include not only new facilities but will also provide a better service to the neighborhood”.
“We appreciate the willingness of the Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands, the coordination work and the good inter-administrative understanding so that the town of Playa Honda has a Health Center as it deserves, according to the population of the town, while also addressing this more than claimed need of the municipality in health matters”, says the mayor.
In parallel, from the Consistory they add that they worked on the Segregation Project of the plot, so the transfer of said land “is good news”. “It is an essential condition to start drafting the project”, insists the Councilor for Urban Planning and Health, Marlene Romero.
The mayor and the councilors emphasize that the good relationship between the San Bartolomé City Council, the Canary Islands Government through the Ministry, the Insular Health Directorate and the Management of the Doctor José Molina Orosa Hospital has been “fundamental”.
