To pass an act for organising occupations in the care sector ensuring equity in terms of salaries and employment conditions regardless of whether individuals work in the social or healthcare sectors

There are currently various remuneration models for the same professional category depending on whether an individual is employed in the health sector or the social field. This disparity already existed within the health sector itself and it was standardised some time ago. Likewise, it is necessary to train professionals of geriatric care in a broader range of skills to allow them to perform duties pertaining both to nursing and clinical care. This figure is logical within the sphere of both dependent and long-term care. Consequently, an act must be established to legally organise the professions in the social sphere to ensure financial recognition is granted to the professional careers of all workers in the care field (in both the health and social sectors), delivering equity in salaries and employment conditions for professionals, regardless of whether they are working in the healthcare or social spheres, and defining a guaranteed continuing training plan.
