Spanish Minister of Social Rights Pablo Bustinduy has issued a mandate to the country's autonomous communities to eliminate dependency waiting lists by 2028. The plan requires a 50% reduction in these lists by 2027, followed by a complete clearance of the backlog by the following year. This directive follows a new agreement to split the funding of the Dependency Law equally between the central State and the regional governments.
The initiative aims to address long-standing delays in social care services. By establishing a 50-50 financing model, the government intends to provide the necessary fiscal support to ensure that all citizens eligible for dependency benefits receive them without administrative delays within the four-year timeframe.
