Computer robots have already taken on the equivalent of more than 45,500 hours of work from public employees of the Autonomous Community in just two years. This is one of the most concrete figures with which the Government defends the results of its administrative simplification policy: the automation programs implemented at the CAIB have intervened in more than 432,000 files and 70,000 documents, mainly to take on repetitive tasks that until then had to be done manually by civil servants, according to data provided by the Executive to ARA Balears.

The new support service for families of people who have died by suicide, launched by the Government in collaboration with the Red Cross, expects to assist approximately 450 people over the next two years. As explained this Monday by the Minister of Health, Manuela García, at a press conference, the program consists of a series of workshops in which family members will receive support. It is a complementary service to the psychological treatment already available. The protocol establishes that family members can go directly to the Red Cross or be referred by their family doctor. The goal, according to the Minister, is for people to feel supported by others who have experienced a similar situation. Investment of 30,000 euros

For his part, the president of the Red Cross in the Balearic Islands, Mateu Ballester, indicated that the agreement has an investment of 30,000 euros for a two-year term. The project focuses on peer support to accompany the grieving process through the creation and maintenance of mutual support groups, both in person and online, which will complement the care already provided in healthcare centers. As he explained, the program will allow support during the initial phase of grief—which can be addressed at the health center when deemed necessary—and subsequently offer support for a longer period through psychosocial interventions. Safe space

Facilitators will also be trained to ensure a safe and trusting environment for participants. Individual orientation and initial assessment sessions are also planned, along with telephone follow-up for those who join the groups. The agreement also includes training activities, psychosocial support, and community intervention aimed at minimizing the emotional, social, and community consequences of suicidal behavior. Talks will be organized in public spaces, and informational and guidance materials on suicidal behavior and mental health will be developed.

The Governing Board approved the agreement between the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands (CAIB) and Palma City Council, which establishes the early termination of the contract for the construction, maintenance, and operation of the Magdalena Rigo Central Fire Station. Therefore, these facilities will be transferred to municipal management, putting an end to "more than a decade of accumulated non-compliance and deficiencies," according to Palma City Council spokesperson and Councilor for Finance, Civil Service, and Government, Mercedes Celeste.
