Regional members of the Health and Social Policy Committee have approved a motion from the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) urging the regional government to open immediately a health centre in Los Alcázares offering round‑the‑clock emergency care. Manuel Sevilla has said a cut presented as temporary in 2011 has become a permanent sentence for a town with more than 20,000 registered residents and peaks above 100,000 in summer. An amendment from Vox, accepted by PSOE, guarantees a mobile emergency unit will remain in the municipality during the busiest months; the PP voted against the motion.

The committee has also approved a Vox motion to push for completion of the Early Care Centre in Alguazas, with a PSOE amendment setting 31 December 2026 as the deadline to finish and equip the building. Debates saw accusations that the regional government preferred outsourced services while the public centre deteriorated, and counter‑arguments from the PP noting existing contracted provision and available regional funding.

Other approved measures include a PP call for a state fund to ensure equitable access to orphan drugs, a Vox motion on the diagnosis and treatment of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma urging early referrals and fewer barriers to compassionate use and clinical trials, and a Mixed Group proposal to improve transparency of waiting lists after the region moved from monthly to semi‑annual publication. A PSOE proposal to create district sexual‑health and STI prevention centres was rejected after opposition from several groups.
