Legnano (Milan) – At the beginning of the year the first data had already been released, painting a worrying picture of the national health system and of endless waiting lists that users face: now those same references are ended up with other data in a specific report presented at the national headquarters of the CGIL, entitled ‘Health can wait’, and the hospitals in our area are certainly not comforted by this research.

The report was prepared by Federconsumatori, in collaboration with the Isscon Foundation and with the contribution of the CGIL, and focuses precisely on the biblical times that separate the need for a visit or exam and the moment in which it is actually provided. The first record data cited in the report and referred to the West Milanese Asst is made up of 426 days necessary for a premiere cardiological visit in the hospital of Cuggiono. TO Legnanohowever, it is better not to have vision problems: they are 677 days necessary to be able to deal with it first eye examination. TO Magenta the report instead assigns the record for the first viphysiatric site, which requires a wait of just under a year, 310 days.
From visits to diagnostic tests, the situation does not improve. On the contrary. They impress 735 days of waiting necessary for one cardiac Doppler ultrasound at Magent hospitalaye 546 days, for an MRI to the column, always in the same hospital in Magenta.
