“The lack of a doctor on board the 118 ambulances, which from Wednesday 1 May will become one of the most serious problems on the health front of our city, also requires a political reflection”.
This is what Sergio Firrincieli, municipal councilor of m5s Ragusa, says after reading the mayor’s statements on the delicate topic. “I don’t doubt – he continues – that the mayor and ASP management have been discussing the delicate issue and the ways to resolve it for days, however, it must be specified that our mayor has been aware of the problem for months (November 2023).
Precisely in that period, in fact, the experts informed the mayor about this and other critical issues and requested a meeting in the conference of mayors which was never convened in this regard. Having started talking about these issues late has therefore produced late interventions such as the call for nurses whose final date for submitting applications is April 23rd.
It appears, among other things, that the tender in question appears to have been prepared to recruit nursing staff given the fact that those currently in force do not intend to provide their support by not taking on the responsibility of getting into ambulances without a doctor on board. So, apparently, and if so it would be very serious, they are looking for another loophole by recruiting more staff.
What is the political consideration to be made? As usual, the lack of interventionism of the municipal administration means that we are faced with problems without a solution and are forced to operate in an emergency. Let’s say no to this way of acting by the mayor who could have been more prompt. Answers are needed” concludes Firrincieli.
