At the beginning of the month, the Deputy General of Álava, through the media, gave an opinion on the compulsory vaccination of workers in the residences. It did so in the knowledge that vaccination is currently voluntary and that its legislative capacity in this area is zero.
The members of Babes Arabako Taldeak suspected that their intention was not to talk about what is happening in the residences and not to talk about the Deputy’s neglect with the residences.
Information on the location of the headquarters was available on the Diputación's website. No new information has been provided since 22 June. The information we have is obtained both through the users' relatives or relatives, as well as through the media.
There are venues where there are positive cases, more than those that have been made known, but that does not matter to Mr Beumer. Member. Their priorities are other. The information given to the press is the number of positives, without an accurate analysis of the cause.
It does not seem to matter that the activities are null and void with the users, such as the Artziniega headquarters. And yet, they prefer to be like this before having departures and visits every day.
In many residences, which have been vaccinated since January, they have the same schedules and restrictions as a year ago.
A Foral Order was issued that allows the presence of people who, by the decision of some residences, can only visit their families three times a week. It leaves it to the residences that the minimum is also maximum. Once again, it prioritizes the interests of some, not all, managers, prioritizing the physical and emotional quality of life of the users of the residences. Although there are many experts and research who claim that it is inhumane.
Nor does it seem that Mr McMahon is a Member of Parliament. The MEP is very concerned about the functioning of primary care and the cutbacks that affect the most vulnerable people suffering from previous illnesses (such as those responsible for institutions like to say).
In many residences, which have been vaccinated since January, they have the same schedules and restrictions as a year ago. And today many families have not been able to access their family's room because they entered the pandemic: they don't know where they live. That does not concern them either, neither the honourable Member, nor the Mr Mayor.
We have many doubts and are very concerned. We do not know which protocols are currently in force in nursing homes. What we do know is that many residential users continue to receive "mistreatment" from their users.
In some residences, the number of contaminated users makes us think that sectorization, bubbles and preventive measures are not being adequate. We say that the templates have not been strengthened, indeed in some cases they have been reduced. An example of this is the community housing of Laguardia, public and private management. In the afternoon shift, the 14 users were attended by two companions, and it has long been done by only one companion. Does anyone believe that a worker can properly serve 14 people and maintain all necessary preventive measures? Neither physically nor emotionally, these workers cannot provide a good service.
We do not know which protocols are currently in force in nursing homes. What we do know is that many residential users continue to receive "mistreatment" from their users.
What has been published in the press is striking, again it is the press that informs about the public residence San Prudencio, dependent on the City Hall of Vitoria-Gasteiz. 40 users are confined by the positives of two employees. Are there two workers in contact with 40 residents? Are the bubbles 40 people? Do the protocols say that? 40 people are confined in the rooms. After the residents' negative CPA, 9 were confined because they had direct contact with positive people. Why were 40 confined? Were they direct contacts or not? What kind of lockdown is going to be applied to them? Why are vaccinated people, with direct contact with a positive, not confined (they are told they can go to work or lead a normal life) and residential users are confined in the rooms?
It should be remembered that in March the residence San Prudencio carried out a confinement in the rooms, claiming that it was a Public Health order, and after presenting a complaint to the Territorial Delegation of Health of Álava, it was revealed that he was lying. D. Mayor, at the most responsible, looked aside, although in the response of the Territorial Delegation of Health of Álava to the complaint he made it clear that he had NOT ordered the confinement in the rooms.
Mr President-in-Office, do you not think that there are many unanswered questions?
