Castilla y León voted yesterday against the agreement to improve the quality of residences and the Dependency Care System, which was approved by only one vote, due to the introduction of last minute modifications without agreement or consensus that are not « admissible" and because it considers that the funding is not adequate.

The Ministry of Family and Equal Opportunities expressed itself in this way after the extraordinary meeting of the plenary session of the Territorial Council of Social Services and the System for Autonomy and Dependency Care (SAAD), in which it was initially going to abstain in the vote of this agreement, but which he finally rejected.
