The question to the regional council arrives regarding heroin cut with Fentanyl and bought in Perugia, which for the first time triggered the national alert on the very powerful opioid. It was presented by the opposition councilor Donatella Porzi (Misto) to understand whether «the regional council intends to intervene with a program of urgent and structured actions over time in order to inform people of the very serious health risks that arise with the use of narcotic substances”.
FENTANYL, THE LESSON OF UMBRIA
Fentanyl in heroin in Perugia In the inspection, the story of the dose of heroin cut with Fentanyl and bought in Perugia is reconstructed, followed by the rapid analyzes of the Serd Street Unit, the confirmation of the laboratory of the University of Perugia and the further one arrived by the Higher Institute of health, which raised the alert level, the information to the Regions and also the file of the Perugia Prosecutor’s Office.
Question in the regional council «The point is that we have received a lesson from this case: the institutions cannot afford “rest breaks” in dealing with the complex and significant problem of the current panorama of drug dealing and addiction, a very large and continuously evolving set that includes very dangerous or potentially lethal “new generation” substances, many of which have the web market as their main source of purchase. My question – concludes Porzi – is intended to be a call to join forces to strengthen constant prevention, information and communication activities, especially towards young people and adolescents, through a network which, in addition to the Region and other territorial institutions, involves all social actors, schools and territorial control forces”.
