L’AQUILA – An amendment to strengthen, with the provision of an ad acta commissioner, the stringent evaluation of local health authority managers, in light of the hole in the deficit of 128 million euros. A necessary action, “because those who need treatment are forced to go outside, or give up and the Council corrects the disaster caused by the poor management of local healthcare, cutting other benefits and services to the community, while leaving unchanged leaders who should have already lapsed ”.
The announcement in view of tomorrow’s extraordinary regional council is from the leader of the Democratic Party in the regional council Silvio Paolucci.
“The patch put by the Council on the deficit of the four local health authorities is worse than the hole caused to Abruzzo’s healthcare system by five years of centre-right rule. A hole of over 128 million as of December 31st, produced by the liabilities of all four local health authorities – continues Paolucci -: 60 million will be covered within the healthcare allocations, while 68 million are the covers that the Region will take care of with the bill landed in the Regional Council with 19 million cuts. A situation that has never happened before and which the people of Abruzzo will pay, while Marsilio promotes managers who by law should be automatically dismissed in the event of a deficit, with administrative and health directors.
“In practice, despite the debts, the waiting lines, passive mobility and the chaos of healthcare, the rules that provide for the removal and forfeiture of the governance appointed by the centre-right are not applied, while in recent years the former managers of the Pescara local health authority and L’Aquila Armando Mancini And Roberto Testa and the director of the ASR Alfonso Mascitelliwere removed illegitimately without respecting the rules: incredible.”
“The majority itself denounces that the situation is serious for 2024 too when it provides in article 2 of the bill presented that the local health authorities must provide a recovery plan in a few days – insists Paolucci -. And it is on this that we present an amendment to strengthen, with the provision of an ad acta commissioner, the stringent evaluation of local health authority managers. A necessary action, because the accounts are in the red, as we have been loudly denouncing for some time, those who need treatment are forced to go outside, or to give up and what does the council do? It corrects the disaster caused by the mismanagement of local healthcare, cutting other benefits and services to the community, while leaving unchanged leaders who should have already lapsed due to the disaster caused.
We don’t say it, more national regulatory references say it and not only that: legislative decrees no. 502/1992 and n. 171/2016, for example, but also the 2010 Budget, as well as the Region itself, in the Council resolution no. 571 of 11 September 2023 and even the current contract of the ASL managers appointed by the executive.
Those who govern know this, so much so that today they ignore them, but they have illegitimately used the same laws to eliminate inconvenient people, even at the cost of exposing the organization to costly compensation, as happened with the removed Directors. After the damage of a stagnant and ineffective healthcare system, the mockery of Marsilio who protects the ASL top management who were unable to manage the accounts in the best possible way, something that has never happened in Abruzzo to this extent”.
