2019.10.10

The plenary session of the Territorial Council for Social Services and Long-Term Care agreed to set up a working group to monitor potential repercussions from Brexit that may arise in relation to the jurisdiction held by regional governments on social services, family welfare and child welfare.

This group is set up within the framework of the Delegate Social Services Committees and the System for Autonomy and Long-Term Care (Spanish acronym: SAAD) and is comprised of representatives from Central Government and the regional governments. The participation of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces, the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Public Function and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation has also been mooted.

The Territorial Council of Social Services and for the System for Autonomy and for dependent persons was created as a cooperation tool to articulate social services and promote autonomy and care for people in dependency. It is attached to the Ministry of Health, Consumption and Social Well-being.
