PUGLIA – The situation is not resolved for the RSAs that host non-self-sufficient elderly people. The costs have become unsustainable and the Region is not intervening. “Today we requested a hearing before the competent council commissions to hear from President Emiliano, the Director of the Health Department, Vito Montanaro and the General Director of the AReSS about the financial coverage for RSAs and Day Centers after completing the process for their accreditation – declare the regional councilors of the Action Group Ruggiero Mennea, Fabiano Amati and Sergio Clemente – In Puglia there are over 400 structures which, in addition to guaranteeing stable employment for over 30,000 workers, provide assistance to tens of thousands of non-self-sufficient and disabled elderly people” – continue the Councilors. “The cancellation of the fee increases by the TAR gives families a sigh of relief, but does not solve the problem of the ability of these structures to survive which are of enormous social and health importance, especially given the increase in the average age of the population and the increase in disabling diseases.”
“We need joint action on the part of the Apulian institutions and we are certain that the Presidents of all the council groups will join us to find the right solution to this problem and to give concrete answers to the requests for help from the trade associations”, they conclude the Councilors Mennea, Amati and Clemente”
