The new medical facility (CHARE – Centro Hospitalario de Alta Resolución) in Alcalá la Real, Jaén, was inaugurated today by the president of the Junta de Andalucia, José Antonio Griñán.
It’s official, no CHARE
The provincial delegate for Health, María Antigua Escalera, has confirmed that, contrary to an earlier announcement by Mariano Ruiz Cuadra, Nerja will not be getting a CHARE but will be getting a Health Centre with a broad portfolio of services.
Announcement of CHARE was ‘a mistake’
In April of this year, the PSOE parliamentary representative for Málaga, Mariano Ruiz Cuadra, visited Nerja and announced that the town would be getting a CHARE (specialist hospital and medical facility) rather than a regular Health Centre.
Less talk, more action
Nothing is ever straightforward in politics, especially if more than one party is involved. The Mayor of Nerja, José Alberto Armijo (PP), has expressed surprise at the announcement from the PSOE that the municipality is to get a CHARE (specialist hospital) rather than a Health Centre.
CHARE, not Health Centre
Nerja will now be getting a Centro Hospitalario de Alta Resolución de Especialidades (CHARE) – High Quality Speciality Hospital – rather than the original plan, a traditional Health Centre.
