Inconvenience and long lines in front of the Asl Andriolu outpatient clinic in Porto Torres. Moms and dads are waiting to be assigned a pediatrician or general practitioner. They are not even sure that their case will go through. The Choices and Revocations offices of the health facility will close at 12.30 and some risk returning the following day.
The situation does not change in other municipalities of the Asl District of Sassari. To choose the pediatrician, users showed up at dawn. Someone hoped to fix the problem yesterday but had to go back. On the door of the offices of the Porto Torres outpatient clinic was written: "We inform you that the choices for the pediatrician Paola Murgia can be made starting from January 19", but the Asl of Sassari had communicated the 18 as the useful day for the renewal of the attributions . Notice torn up immediately by the health workers of the facility.
Impossible to send away the parents already present from the early hours of the morning. «A shame!», complains a user, «they knew that an alarming situation would arise». Anger is felt. "Thirty people showed up at half past 5 and were welcomed inside the outpatient clinic, while outside there are about fifty users waiting to complete the paperwork" protests a mother. “Someone even took a day off and was sent away yesterday. We are not even certain that today they will be able to satisfy all the people present ».
Requests will be processed according to a chronological order of receipt, with the possibility of making the choice also by e-mail. "A form that does not give the right of first refusal, so we are forced to go directly to the outpatient clinic".
