It is by means of a press release, this Tuesday November 19, 2024that Manche expresses itself on the Cotentin Association of inclusive and supportive support (Acais), this project to create a medical reception establishment in the department.

A medico-social plan for the period 2017-2022 from the departmental council provided for the development of support structures for severely disabled peopleas we recalled a few days ago. But these were then, as the Department writes today, “more favorable times” budgetarily speaking.

“The Department is indeed facing a complex and unprecedented financial situation which requires it to refocus its action and question projects which do not fall within its field of competence. This is the case for this project since the financing of medical reception places for the most severely disabled adults is a State responsibility. »

Jean Morin, the president of the Department, nevertheless wants to be reassuring: “There has never been a question of giving up good care for people with disabilities. »

700 000 euros

An envelope of 700,000 euros was announced in this effort.

“As it had committed to doing with the association, the Department continued its dialogue with the Regional Health Agency,” the press release continued. Far from the controversies, this close and constant contact made it possible to identify a financing solution: the Department will exceptionally assume investment financing to the tune of 700,000 euros, and the ARS will mobilize levers to contribute to operations. »

A financing proposal which will soon be submitted to the vote of departmental councilors.

49 establishments

The Department recalls that it has dedicated 74 million euros to people with disabilities in 2023. A large part of this funding is allocated to the operation of the 49 establishments and services present in the territory, allowing support for approximately 1,879 adults with disabilities. Medical establishments, for their part, belong to the field of competence of the State.
