Update to Tariffs for Management Services in the Canary Islands

Spanish authorities in the Canary Islands have approved an update to the tariffs for the management services provided by Gestión de Servicios para la Salud y Seguridad en Canarias, S.A. (GSC), a public company fully owned by the regional government.

This move aims to ensure that the company continues to deliver essential health and safety services, including support for women victims of gender-based violence, under a clear and sustainable financial framework.

Key Details of the Update

• The tariffs, established in a December 2025 joint order, now explicitly cover a broader range of services and departments, including the Department of Wellbeing, Equality, Youth, Childhood, and Families.
• This update responds to requests from GSC and the Canary Islands Institute of Equality, aiming to streamline the management and financing of crucial social services.

Legal and Financial Framework

The order emphasizes that the fees are calculated based on actual costs, adhering to Spanish procurement law, and applicable to any future service mandates except where alternative tariffs are deemed more suitable.

• The move helps clarify the financial arrangements for services that the regional government uses to support health, social welfare, and safety initiatives.
• It ensures transparency and fiscal responsibility for residents and expats alike.
