“But how can you rejoice and exult over a weakening of health services in the area! Reading the enthusiasm of the mayor Lattuca and the president of the Bonaccini Region for the inauguration of the Cesena Cau leaves us speechless: the left tries to convince of the goodness of this new organization, but we who are already experiencing it first hand can say that the truth is completely different: in Mercato Saraceno we went from the Emergency Room to the First Aid Point, and this was already a weakening, now we have arrived at the Cau. Step by step they are literally dismantling the emergency-urgency system and what’s more they are pleased with all this.” Speaking is Valerio Bernabini, municipal coordinator of Fratelli D’Italia for Mercato Saraceno.
“The Cau at Mercato Saraceno opened last January, replacing the first aid point – continues the FdI representative – The doctor is present in the ambulance but not in the facility, where there is only specialized nursing staff. At the entrance to the Cau, a sign has been placed which lists in detail all the symptoms necessary to access the service, and then the question arises spontaneously: is the suffering citizen able to correctly interpret his symptoms on his own to decide whether to stop at Mercato or continue to the Bufalini emergency room? Frankly, we don’t believe and let’s not forget that there are over 20 km between Mercato and the Cesena PS. In summary, many of the 1797 people who turned to the facility actually ended up at the Bufalini Emergency Room in Cesena and the Mayor is talking about decongestion there? Everyday life is very different from the stories of the left. At Mercato Saraceno – continues Bernabini – the new structure has greatly reduced the quality of the service we were used to, so we absolutely cannot talk about innovation and a project to be exported. The citizens wondered why this happened, and what responsibility should be attributed to Mayor Monica Rossi and her council, and why there was no opposition to a project which, even on paper, speaks of a reduction in service and inconvenience. to citizenship. We hope that it will be possible to return to the First Intervention point which saved lives, and was a facility much appreciated by the citizens, not only for the convenience of not having to go to Cesena but also for the speed of intervention which certainly contributed to provide serenity in a very delicate moment, when a person is not well. Decisions on healthcare are always made from above, without discussion with the citizens and above all without taking into account the needs of the territory and its population. The inauguration with great fanfare in Cesena has the flavor of an electoral initiative and given that elections are also taking place in Mercato – concludes Valerio Bernabini – we would like Mayor Rossi to tell us his opinion on healthcare and whether he is satisfied with having endorsed a cut in health services in the area”.
