TURIN. Nurses: two appeals to the TAR risk scuppering a long-awaited competition, 226 hires at stake which represent one breath of fresh air for local health authorities and hospitals throughout Piedmont: even more so, considering that I am also struggling with holiday plans. L’ASL City of Turin and the City of Healthin particular, they urgently need new professionals.
Original defect
The original defectwhich triggered appeals from two nurses, it would have been to have carried out the oral interviews behind closed doors, while the regulation calls for maximum transparency. A freezing shower, since the tender was closed, the rankings had already been published and the first hires were being made. While now, it seems that the TAR has decided on the suspensionwe risk returning to the starting point, like in Monopoli: the nurses who had already been contacted by the companies they must be called back for the oral interview.
Chaos
It goes without saying that the trade unions (CGIL, CISL, UIL, FIALS, Nursind e Nursing Piedmont) they are on the barricades: if the announcement was for 226 places, the ranking valid for all companies is close to 2 thousand units. A mortgage on the staff re-internalisation projects promised by the Region. The center-left is also controversial. «But was a “closed doors” competition really held? – Daniele Valle, Pd, asks and asks -. Really with the urgency of hiring new healthcare personnel such glaring organizational errors can be made, exposing yourself to administrative appeals? If this were to be true, we would be in the presence of a clear inadequacy of the Zero Company even to manage a simple competition”.
The reply from Azienda Zero
The reply from Azienda Sanitaria Zero will be sent shortly by return post. «To date, two appeals regarding the competition have been received from a law firm but these appeals have not yet been filed with the TAR Registry, therefore the hearing date has not even been defined – it is pointed out -. In agreement with the lawyers appointed for Azienda Sanitaria Zero, the defense briefs are being prepared, in anticipation of the filing of the documents, for future discussion in court. It is important to underline, unlike what is reported, that the oral tests were held in rooms open to the public, as required by the competition rules, in compliance with the principles of transparency of public administration. We are committed to protecting all 1,957 candidates, who have been declared suitable to play a fundamental role for our health service.”
