Mayor Riccardo Uda, in a statement, had denounced the serious situation that had arisen in the Macomer clinic in recent days, in particular the alleged closure of the Ascot clinic on January 4th.
Now the denial from the ASL of Nuoro arrives promptly. «It is not true that the clinic was closed on January 4 - it is written among other things in the ASL press release, with statements also relaunched by the director Maria Giovanna Porcu - this is demonstrated by the internal communications, promptly sent by the doctor on duty on that day, in which it is clearly written that the professional regularly carried out the activity until 12.15. He was then called for a home visit at the request of the Mental Health Department. In any case, the doctor on duty specifies that he took care to have the notice of temporary absence posted in the clinic premises, with the new opening hours".
The ASL communicates that the Ascot of the social health district of Macomer are regularly open and functioning throughout the Marghine, with 3 doctors in Macomer, one in Sindia, one in Noragugume, 2 in Bortigali (which also includes Bolotana, Lei and Silanus) , then one in Dualchi. On the chronic and generalized shortage of family doctors, the Local Health Authority confirms the collaboration between the district management and the strategic management of the Nuoro Local Health Authority, to identify organizational solutions in order to implement the offer. «Not least - it is written in the press release - is the proposal to general practitioners working in Macomer, with the role of owner, to provide a few hours of activity in the rooms made available in the Nuraghe Ruggiu clinic, in order to start the Community provided for by the ministerial decree".
The ASL concludes and writes that, at present, in the socio-health district of Macomer there are 9 doctors on duty in Ascot who, despite the critical issues which are common throughout the Peninsula, «ensure a network of health and social services for the benefit of of the population".
