BE-Madeira Demands Clarity on Social Care Beds Funded by PRR

The Left Bloc (BE) in Madeira has requested clarification from the Regional Government regarding the allocation of new elderly care beds funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR).

The party questions how many of the 329 new beds, part of a total investment of 52.1 million euros for 582 vacancies, will actually be social vacancies contracted with Social Security and how many will be operated by the private sector.

BE cites previous examples, such as the Santa Clara Social Complex and the Til Care Home, where public funding did not guarantee a significant number of social vacancies or were presented as private ventures, raising concerns about required counter-performances and waiting lists.
