No visit. No urgent cardiac examination with priority within 10 days (as per electronic prescription) and no electrocardiogram. Nothing, for an 86 year old man, disabled and seriously ill, unable to proceed with the booking through the Cup and who went to the “Pugliese-Ciaccio” hospital in Catanzaro where, according to him, he was told to contact the general management almost as if it were a favor to be begged. Obviously, but it must be remembered, no one would have received it.
And now it is Codacons – Coordination of Associations for the Protection of the Environment and the Rights of Users and Consumers – through the vice-president Francesco Di Lieto to ask “that following the adoption of all the necessary sanctioning measures, the urgent service be booked within the time prescribed maximums and, where it is impossible to carry out the service within the established times through the Regional Health Service, to be authorized to carry out the service using the private regime, with reimbursement of the related costs”. Because for the next few months there is no date available to take the exam.
At the same time, Codacons requests “explanations on what happened and invites the president of the Regional Council, Roberto Occhiuto, to arrange all appropriate investigations regarding the facts exposed”.
