Administrative staff shortages and suspension of the front office at the Reception Center . Meanwhile, in Radiotherapy, efforts are underway to reduce waiting lists by expanding operations and offering additional services.
These are the contents of the CISL FP protest , demanding answers from the management of Arnas Brotzu. Regional Councilor Alessandro Sorgia also addressed the situation regarding the radiotherapy department, raising questions about the critical issues and delays in the service.
According to the CISL Fp at Brotzu, the common thread is one: planning. On the one hand, a service considered essential for the start of the oncology program, which, according to the union, is struggling with such a shortage of administrative staff that it has led to the suspension of the front office.
On the other hand, a facility, the Radiotherapy Oncology Unit, is called upon to increase its activity to help reduce waiting lists. These are two different situations , the union emphasizes, which cannot be confused or necessarily traced back to the same cause. However, when viewed together, they raise a broader question about the organizational capacity of the Businco Oncology Hospital and, more generally, of Arnas Brotzu.
At the heart of the initial referral is the Service Reception Center (CAS), the service dedicated to patients with suspected or newly diagnosed oncology. The CAS is responsible for orienting patients and helping organize the diagnostic and care pathway.
The CISL Fp Arnas Brotzu union has formally asked company management to clarify whether the front office suspension has been confirmed, the reasons for the situation, how services are currently being maintained, and what measures are planned to restore full operation.
The company clarified immediately , stating in a statement that " there has been no interruption in the clinical care of cancer patients who turn to the CAS. Activities aimed at cancer patients, including support through diagnosis and treatment, continue to be ensured through the usual organizational methods."
At the same time, the Radiation Oncology Department is implementing a special program to reduce waiting lists. Activities are also being expanded into evenings and Saturdays, making use of additional services and the availability of professionals.
The situation regarding the radiotherapy waiting lists at Businco has also come to the attention of the Regional Council. Councilor Alessandro Sorgia, FdI, along with other center-right representatives, has submitted a question regarding the "serious critical issues and delays in radiotherapy services" at the Cagliari oncology hospital.
