He defends the program as they are running it because, he assures, it prevents teachers from having to deal with teaching the programs. “I don’t think it’s fair to put the burden of this program on teachers.”
“If health assures me that it will bring school nurses if we join Xarxa Salut, I sign”
García Berenguer states that the council has not joined the program of the Zaraxa Salut ministry for precisely this reason: “If Sanidad assures me that if we join the Zaraxa Salut school nurses I sign, but if it is not so, then the teachers will have to bear the burden.

no duplication
in opposition to Socialist Municipal Group councilor Loreto Martinez Ramos, defends that the municipal program is not so necessary right now as currently the ministry already provides a similar service and asks that there is no duplication. mayor acknowledges that the project has Many years in Mutxamel and that when it was implemented, with the socialist municipal government, it was not intended to offer only a health education program; It also sought to take care of children who needed help because they were ill, through the drawing of a toilet. “It was the monitors that had to administer medications Or pricked them and it was the ministry, at the time of PP, that said children should not be given the drug and then the city council tried and brought in the school nurse. But with the current progressive government of Botanic those needs are covered by the Ministry of Health which has created a health problem, there are town halls that have become involved and are taking care of everything related to people’s health. Mutxamel hasn’t joined by chance”, he reprimands.
Samajwadi councilor asks government team to search How to avoid duplicating tasks: “Because now, what was done by the city council is being done by the ministry”. And for the school nurse figure, he asks to see what other functions it can develop and formulas to maintain, “It sounds good to us, but duplicate functions without doing”.
Councilors for Education insist that health education programs are “much needed and needed by schools.” And he points out that they protect municipal autonomy from the government team “and we believe that as a council we can implement this service, because it doesn’t say so”. García justifies not being in Xarxa Salut “because the learning centers cannot carry much weight in the tutorial action plan. Because Xarxa passes the information to the Salut centers and they have to obey that part of the explanation.” The councilor states that “the school community says it cannot take more things on its shoulders, because the weight of bureaucracy is increasing and management teams spend more and more time doing bureaucracy that is not up to par.”
The Education Councilor believes that there is no duplication and believes that it is possible to cooperate with the Ministry. He affirms that parents and teachers are at peace knowing that it is a specialist who develops the program and calls for municipal unity so that all groups claim the program and the school nurse figure.
