The agreement represents a significant reduction in the monthly price for more than 65% of the 67 users who currently have this healthcare service from the City of San Pedro del Pinatar. The mayor of San Pedro del Pinatar, Visitación Martínez, and the president of the Red Cross Mar Menor Norte, Antonio Martínez, today signed a collaboration agreement for the development of home telecare, a municipal service that has been provided since 2004 through this entity. Currently 67 users are beneficiaries of the home telecare system that the City Council provides to people who are at risk for reasons of age, disability, illness or social isolation.

It should be remembered that the Autonomous Community provides this service to those who have a recognized degree of dependency. This new agreement mainly involves updating and improving the prices set in 2013, so that the majority of users will see their monthly amount of service considerably reduced. Thus, the most common devices and modalities, which are currently used by more than 65% percent of users, will have a reduction in the base price of 8 euros per month, representing a reduction of between 36.6 and 42, one%. In addition, this municipal service is subscribed to a copayment system, depending on the income of the users, so that the City Council assumes part of the cost of it in most cases and is free for lower incomes. Home telecare is a service that, through the telephone line and with specific communications equipment, allows elderly or disabled people, by simply activating the device they are constantly wearing and without discomfort, to enter into "hands-free" verbal contact , 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with a center staffed specifically by staff to respond appropriately to the need presented. In addition to providing this telecare service, the Red Cross and the San Pedro del Pinatar City Council maintain various lines of collaboration in the social sphere, with projects such as charities such as "Healthy Breakfasts", subsidized annually through the Solidarity Basket, or the orthoprosthetic bank managed by the Red Cross and financed through the line of subsidies for social health projects, among other initiatives.
