2025 could be the year in which work will begin on the new radiotherapy department in Trapani. A reasonable forecast in light of what was stated this morning in a statement by the vice-president of the ARS EU Commission, Cristina Ciminnisi: «Radiotherapy in Trapani will find financial coverage for part of the extraordinary program of public investments in healthcare pursuant to article 20 (L. 67/88) and for the other part, as we anticipated, in the corporate balance sheet of the ASP of Trapani”.
This morning the EU commission held a hearing in which the top managers and officials of the strategic planning direction of the Sicilian Region were present, called upon to report on the implementation of the PNRR for healthcare interventions in Sicily.
Trapani can look to the realization of radiotherapy with renewed and moderate optimism, on the contrary Alcamo will still have to wait; the deputy summarizes: «There is no good news for the new hospital in Alcamo, which had been at the center of the debate of an extraordinary municipal council last March 25, for which what we already feared emerged: there is no coverage for the intervention which requires an investment of over 30 million of Euro».
«If on the one hand the news of radiotherapy does justice to the citizens of the Trapani area who have been waiting for this important health service for 15 years – says Ciminnisi –on the other hand we cannot help but express concern for the cut of over 139 million euros to Sicilian healthcare ordered by the National Government as part of an overall reduction of over one billion euros on the PNRR. Minister Fitto and the Meloni Government go straight with confidence blows and bring down a real ax on the health of Sicilians.”
«Some concerns – concludes the deputy from Trapani – remains with respect to the implementation times and the next steps for radiotherapy in Trapani. By 2025, according to the general direction of strategic planning of the Region, we should see the opening of the construction site. Our attention remains on radiotherapy, on the next steps and on the procedures, so that the times envisaged today by the commission are respected”.
