Nurses on a war footing at Arnas Brotzu in Cagliari , where today the healthcare professionals of Nursing Up crossed their arms for 24 hours and held a protest with signs and banners .
«It is no longer possible to accept the idea that, after twenty years from the establishment of the figure of the social-health worker in Arnas Brotzu and in the San Michele and Businco garrisons, there is not an adequate number of this support figure very important, enough to be present on 24-hour shifts" explains Diego Murracino , regional secretary of Nursing Up. «In almost all departments – he continues – this figure is missing on the night shift and therefore in some way the nurse, who is a graduated professional, tries to make up for it but distracting time and attention from his own tasks». For the union " all this is now unacceptable also because in the labor market there are an abundance of social and health workers : we have many social and health workers in Sardinia who are unemployed and here it is just a question of saving money on the skin of patients who do not receive a 'adequate assistance and at the same time disqualifying graduate healthcare professionals to carry out improper tasks".
