el CECOVA appreciates the initiative in the Corts Valencianes, PSPV, Compromís and us addressed to equip nurses to special education centres

La College nursing organization regretted that the Member of the PP Nieves Martínez should be based in a series of erroneous premises ” to justify the vote initiative

Valencia, April 2012.- the Council of nursing of the Comunitat Valenciana (CECOVA) and the professional nursing of Valencia, Castellon and Alicante have thanked the support of the parliamentary groups of the PSPV, Compromís and us in the Corts Valencianes nursing school to vote favorably for a legislative initiative of the Member of US Navy Albiol on the staffing of nursing in all the centres of special education (EEC) and regretted the rejection of the PP to implement this health service in the EEC despite the provisions of article 10.4. Health rights of children and Adolescents Act 8, 2008.

The proposition was rejected by 8 votes against the PP and 7 in favor of the three groups of the opposition in the last Commission of health and consumption of Valencian whereas Parliament very serious ” Deputy of the PP María Nieves Martínez based in a series of erroneous premises ” to justify the “no” vote to the initiative I askedto provide nursing all the EEC.

In this sense, Ávila explained María Nieves Martínez noted in the debate that all of the Valencian Community EEC and their care needs are covered by nurses ” under the order of 24 July 2009 that developed article 10.4 of law 8/2008 of 26 June 2008 andalso said that it is the community nurse must assess the needs of care with the health care team of primary care ”.

Saturation of the centers of health

However, the President of the CECOVA assured that health centers saturation prevents give the service requiring such centres with a number of students requiring care specialized by alterations in health which presented with the proper speed and alacrity. They are students with severe health problems including cerebral palsy, spongiform, Muscular Dystrophies, ataxias, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic diseases, widespread development, Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorders, disorders and so on ”. Some health problems that require a continuous and permanent attention in school and for the solution of urgent complications that may appear it is not logical that they depend on if the health of the nearest health centre team is available or not; act quickly is in many cases save or not a life.

The President of the CECOVA noted that the name receive the nurses to meet these special circumstances is the least, or nursing school community, the important thing is the presence of the same throughout the school day.

If the PP bets that are family and community nurses which must comply with the care tasks and education of patients and their families that require this kind of centres ”, Avila added that this single may be safe for students, offering peace of mind to parents and providing quality and results interventions, if the nurse present in all the time and not just demand, as it seeks to PP, that is people with physical and sensory impairments associated with psychic disability, and in many cases with chronic diseases also associated, these children are carriers of drilling and devices that require the care and supervision of workforce as feeding tubesurinary catheters, assisted respirators, tracheal cannula and vacuum cleaners of mucosa. These needs, together with the relevance of administer appropriate treatments, justify sufficiently the need to cover all the school hours. Timely action is inadequate, if not you can plan when a student will suffer a seizure or a carrier of tracheal cannula will be a mucous plug ”.

José Antonio Avila recalled that although 8, 2008 law requires to have a nurse in every school of special education, currently only eight EEC they have this service during all business hours, i.e., only 19% of the total of EEC, and regretted the Nieves Martínez member to recognize, with regard to this law, that laws are adopted, but later, subject to budgetary availability, are serving ”.

Another initiative also of Mrs Marina Albiol, supported by Compromís and PSPV, to provide a school nurse EEC Tomàs Llàcer de Alcoy was also rejected with the votes of an absolute majority of the PP.
