First step in solving the serious problem of the lack of general practitioners that has been taking place in Sardinia in recent weeks .
In the evening, at the end of a meeting between the representatives of the doctors and the Councilor for Health, Carlo Doria, it was agreed that the disadvantaged offices will be increased to 118 .
This means that doctors who accept the appointment in one of these locations will be entitled to greater incentives.
Not only. A patient allocation plan has also been established so that they are evenly distributed among all general practitioners and do not excessively increase workloads .
The alarm remains high due to the lack of paediatricians , for which the commissioner has ensured a quick intervention.
«It was a constructive meeting in which we shared common strategies to meet the needs of patients and operators - commented Doria -. We shared the requests of general practitioners to minimize the bureaucracy that distracts at least 30% of the doctor's time. To meet this need, we will activate a one-stop shop for simplification in each district, which will help manage a large part of the administrative health procedures, thus reducing the tasks for general practitioners who will therefore be able to devote more time to assistance in the strict sense". .
"We also agreed - he adds - to approve the list of disadvantaged (85) and extremely disadvantaged (33) Municipalities also on the basis of the deficiencies in the presence of general practitioners, to recognize a compensatory salary allowance to all those professionals who have chosen or choose to hold positions in those locations. We have also approved the list of deficient offices for 2022, which will therefore allow us to proceed quickly with the publication of the regional tender".
