About 400 people with intellectual disabilities go to Caravaca de la Cruz (03/11/2017)

The Minister of Family and Equality of Opportunities, Violante Tomás, attended today the end of the pilgrimage to Caravaca de la Cruz that have made about 400 people with intellectual disabilities of the Federation of Associations of Mentally Disabled of Murcia (Fadis) and the Association for the promotion of people with disabilities (Asprodes).

Tomás stressed that the Community earmarked 84 million euros this year to serve people with disabilities in the region and noted that in two years the offer has been expanded with 408 new residential care places, day centers and promotion of autonomy, until reaching 3,974 public places.

Violante Tomás pointed out another of the advances in disability matters, the implementation of a "comfortable and agile" accreditation card, which facilitates access to certain services and ensures the mutual recognition of national identification documents for persons with disabilities, which the European Parliament resolution talks about and that all member states must comply with.

In this regard, the Family Ministry has issued 21,216 cards.

The head of the Family said "that people with disabilities have many other capacities, hence the importance given by the regional government to the mainstreaming of disability policies".

He also reported that the Region is the third autonomous community with the highest percentage of people with disabilities active, with 44.8 percent, according to the latest study by the National Institute of Statistics, only surpassed by the Basque Country (49 percent) and Navarre (45.8 percent).

On the other hand, last year a working group was set up, made up of CERMI officials and members, which also work on aspects to make leisure accessible and inclusive.

Likewise, there is an agreement for training practices for people with disabilities, which was launched last year, so that people from the intellectual disability federations Fundown, Fadis and Plena Inclusión do internships in all the Administration departments, and that this year "we have renewed doubling the number of users, which go from 10 to 20, and extending it to Feafes and Famdif".
