A demonstration of the CISL FP Viterbo
Viterbo – We receive and publish – The National Recovery and Resilience Plan as a historic opportunity to relaunch local healthcare. A packed room followed the speeches of the guests who participated in the conference “Pnrr and territorial healthcare. Opportunities and prospects for the relaunch of the health system” organized yesterday by the CISL FP of Viterbo. Present were the national secretary of the CISL FP Roberto Chierchia, the general secretary of the CISL Lazio Enrico Coppotelli, the regent of the CISL FP Lazio Giancarlo Cosentino, the extraordinary commissioner of the ASL of Viterbo Egisto Bianconi, the regional councilor Daniele Sabatini and the deputy mayor of Viterbo Alfonso Antoniozzi .
Stefania Gunnella, regent of the FP CISL, introduced the discussion on the reform outlined by European resources as well as by decree 77 of 2022. “As a trade federation and as a confederal union, we are convinced – she began – that the aspect from which to start concerns the crisis of the health system, influenced by chronic disinvestment, hardship, demotivation or even the flight of health personnel”. How to intervene? “Addressing this crisis requires targeted strategies, such as evaluating shift assignments, improving pay and recognition, ensuring adequate working conditions, renewing contracts. Involving staff in finding and implementing solutions is key to sustainable change,” continued Gunnella. Without prejudice to the fact that “the main objective remains that of guaranteeing efficient, effective and economically sustainable care for the citizen-patient”, for the Cisl Fp regent of Viterbo “there is no relaunch of the care and assistance model if there is no it is the valorization of those who make caring for people concrete every day. And there is no more advantageous investment in terms of individual and collective well-being than that in skills and professionalism”. For this reason, the hiring plan just launched by the Rocca council has obtained the approval of the CISL.
Representing the Municipality, the deputy mayor Alfonso Antoniozzi, in addition to having recalled the need to defend the national health system, announced how the first citizen Chiara Frontini, welcoming the requests of the unions, will convene a conference with the mayors as soon as possible, the commissioner of the local health authority and the trade unions to monitor the health needs of citizens and intervene in case of deficiencies, starting from waiting lists and general practitioners.
This was followed by the speech of FdI regional councilor Daniele Sabatini who, after underlining the contribution given by the CISL for the approval of the tax cut fund in the stability law of the Lazio Region, declared: “Let’s keep the spotlight on public health, without demonizing the private sector, however, so that they can support each other for the needs of citizens”. Sabatini also claimed how, thanks to the collaboration with Bianconi, the investments of the Pnrr and the resources of the Jubilee will change the face of local healthcare also thanks to “a hiring plan which, after 22 years, is a source of great pride”.
In taking the floor, the ASL commissioner claimed that “in Viterbo there are great professionalisms which however often do not emerge given the situation of structural inadequacy of the hospitals. We are – added Bianconi – redesigning the company, redesigning the services and programming of the Pnrr which did not have sufficient economic coverage. Thanks to the collaboration with the Lazo Region we are covering our employment needs so as not to waste the unique opportunity represented by the Pnrr. The resources that will arrive will allow us to internally renovate the hospital and the structures present in the area to become attractive again”.
The general secretary of the CISL Lazio Coppotelli applauded the management group of the CISL of Viterbo and remembered how “the Pnrr is a driving force for development and civilisation. In 2022, thanks to the CISL, we obtained that regional table which continues today and helps us understand how those projects bring benefits to the territories, overcoming staff shortages and the problem of waiting lists”. Coppotelli also recalled how the largest investment is in human capital, including general practitioners and local medicine with community homes.
The word then passed to the Regent of the CISL FP Lazio, Giancarlo Cosentino, who declared: “Never before have we had a CISL so integral and united by common objectives. We are also fortunate to have a commissioner like Bianconi in Viterbo who has the ability to plan. The opportunity to hold competitions on companies and no longer at a regional level allows you to retain staff. Hiring 707 new professional figures in an ASL which has around 3 thousand means allowing an increase in employment of 25%. All hires that the region has ensured by 31 December 2024″.
Closing the proceedings was the national secretary of the CISL FP, Roberto Chierchia, who recalled that “the latest Istat report revealed that in Italy the chronological age is increasing dramatically given that in twenty years those over 65 have gone from 9 to 14 million. This – he reiterated – means that in order to be treated, the healthcare system must be reformed. From 2009 to 2019 we have suffered 36 billion euros in cuts to healthcare with a contraction of services and reductions in staff. Only with the pandemic was there a change of pace. The Pnrr is now a great opportunity that the union must work to ensure it benefits citizens and to beef up the workforce, modernize the structures and create a widespread local healthcare system. He then relaunched the need to start again from a season of participation that allows the renewal of public and private healthcare contracts, the only lever to increase the purchasing power of wages which are falling by 4.5% also to give further attractiveness to healthcare professions “
