The situation at the GeNa institute in Sassari is worsening. This is confirmed by a recent communication sent to the unions by the sole director of the healthcare facility for the disabled, Renato Giglio. The letter refers to "an emergency situation that threatens the continuity of services for the more than 100 patients served and the employment stability of the more than 100 workers employed."
Giglio recalls, in the introduction, that Opera Gesù Nazareno "is undergoing a bankruptcy proceeding, similar to a bankruptcy proceeding for a going concern arrangement: its plan urgently requires regional measures that can no longer be postponed." He then outlines the issues underlying the crisis, starting with the failure to supplement Ares's budget. "As of January 1, 2026," Giglio writes, "the fee distribution has changed to 70% healthcare and 30% social contributions (Resolution GR 46/25). However, the Regional Council has not included the spending caps required by Ares Sardegna to purchase services, creating an unsustainable financial gap."
Emphasis on the tariff postponement: "The resolution of May 20, 2026, aimed at covering the increase in labor costs, was supposed to take effect retroactively from January 1, 2026. Its effectiveness risks being postponed to June 1, 2026, causing serious and unjustified retroactive economic damage to the facilities." Here too, Giglio continues, "no measures have been taken to supplement the spending caps." Finally, the sole administrator reports, "the agreements of July 6, 2026, have been disregarded," where, he continues, "a clear line of action had been defined that called for the reshaping of the regional health budget and the addition of resources to cover the new distribution."
"The organization is effectively on the brink of liquidation due to an unacceptable paradox," argues Renato Giglio. "The crisis isn't caused by management or financial shortcomings, but solely by the Department's failure to prepare the resolution adjusting spending caps to reflect decisions made first in September 2025 and lastly in May 2026."
