There are many points to address but first of all we have to work on the hospital in Sorgono. which must be retrained: we can use both local surgeons and external teams on planned surgical interventions ”.

On the territorial medicine front, "we are publishing calls for proposals for paediatrics and general medicine, in order to cover some vacant offices and we are also taking action on the front of the search for doctors to deal with the disastrous situation of waiting lists". "I don't have a magic wand - he underlined - but brick by brick if we work together we will succeed".

We are determined to collaborate with the director. general but know that we will monitor the situation day by day and if you do not start solving the problems we will immediately get back to the office ".
