«For extraordinary community outpatient clinics, in just seven days of publication of the notice, we received ninety applications. We will be able to cover all the offices lacking general medicine in the area ».

This was announced by the regional councilor for health Carlo Doria during the Oristano municipal council, convened in public session to examine the critical issues of the welfare system.

No magic formula to overcome the sector's many limits, but some indications on the road to follow.

"I have given a mandate to the directors general of the ASL to immediately ban competitions to assign top positions - said the exponent of the Giunta Solinas - secondly, it is necessary to financially encourage doctors to work even in less attractive offices".

Almost all of the minority interventions in the Chamber: the opposition councilors (who did not fail to stigmatize the absence of the councilor for Social Services, Alessandra Porcu) highlighted the dramatic nature of the situation in the San Martino Hospital.

“We are collapsing – they repeated – 700 doctors will retire in the next five years. We need to reverse course."

Among the advanced requests, that of carrying out the competitions by geographical area, blocking the permanence in the office to which they belong for at least three years. «I would like to - the councilor Doria replied - but there is a national law which prevents it. We need to change the rules of engagement».

Among the audience, also some exponents of the Committee for the right to health. "The commissioner has not answered any of the questions posed by the councilors - claims Maria Carmela Marras, one of the components - and in the meantime the civic assembly has not yet brought the document signed by the Coordination of the committees to the Chamber".

The march on Oristano promoted by the local section of the Sos Sanità Barbagia Mandrolisai Committee has been confirmed for tomorrow. Tractors and vans will leave from Samugheo to arrive in front of the ASL headquarters.
