Castilla-La Mancha became the first autonomous region in Spain to pass an Accessibility Law. In addition, this region increases the budget allocated to disability services by at least 15% every year, since 40% of the area's inhabitants have reduced mobility.
However, there is still much progress to be made in this area, according to Javier Pérez, Director General of Services for Older People, People with Disabilities, and Dependent People, who calls on society and all the parties involved—public authorities and business owners—to comply with the regulations in order to achieve a more supportive and accessible region for all citizens.
The region of Castilla-La Mancha is also achieving very good results in implementing the Dependency Law, as around 27,000 people are receiving care and a further 32,000 people are receiving benefits.
