In the next few days, a dozen patients from one of the two psychiatric structures of Rizzeddu and Ploaghe could be discharged, since Ares, the regional body they depend on, would not have arranged for the extension of the loan, due to expire on 30 September. . This was supported by the trade union confederations, in a document signed today by Toto Terrosu (Fp - Cgil), Antonio Monni (Cisl Fp) and Augusto Ogana (Uil Flp) .
"With the aggravating circumstance that the relatives or guardians of the patients, in the meantime, will have to" make do "to find similar alternatives - argue the unions -. That in Sardinia there can only be in the municipality of Bono or in Cortoghiana, a hamlet of Carbonia. was true - continues the document - means that the commitments made by the regional councilor for health Mario Nieddu and the administrative director of Ares, in the institutional table last July, represent a disengagement, which requires a tough stance. of the trade unions to take all the mobilization initiatives that the case requires. We therefore hope that reassurances will arrive as soon as possible ".

"In the meantime - argue the trade unions - we are waiting for the contract expiring on September 30 to be extended. In order to guarantee the continuity of patient care and the protection of existing jobs. Waiting - concludes the document - that Ares orders the announcement of the new tender, as publicly expressed at the last institutional meeting ".
