ANDRIA – Few lights and still many shadows. The new hospital in Andria continues to have the contours of a puzzle even when the institutions take stock of the situation on the process.
Yesterday the ASL Bt responded to the New Hospital committee of Andria – the latter created with the aim of monitoring the steps towards the level II health facility planned in the Macchia di Rosa district – after the many requests received on the topic .
meetings In summary: there have been three meetings between general management and designers but at the moment there is still no signature on the contract that integrates the planning for the new hospital. This is what was learned from the ASL note signed by the general director Tiziana Dimatteo and sent to the committee yesterday.
The latest update dates back to the meeting of the regional commission which foresees a very short timeframe, August 2024, to close the design phase. In essence, there are still ongoing “technical and legal evaluations” on the necessary contractual integration with the designers after the launch of the new clinical management plan which, as the Local Health Authority explained, effectively reduces the number of operating rooms from eighteen to twelve, while leaving the number of operating theaters unchanged. the rest.
DG Dimatteo, in her reply to the committee, added that she had “already demonstrated her attention towards this great project with the utmost commitment in following the administrative process necessary to guarantee the rapid continuation of the activities”. And then: «The lack of response is justified by the desire to communicate a definitive conclusion of the agreements with the RTI made up of 10 different interlocutors. […] It will be our responsibility to inform you of any further meetings, hoping for a rapid resolution of this administrative step for which we in the commission had hypothesized a solution within ten days but which, for the reasons already stated, is taking longer.”
And here again is the bugaboo of uncertain weather. In fact, the letter makes no reference to specific timing. Added to this are the lack of responses to the committee’s requests on a clinical management level. The same committee made it known that it took note of the note but reserved a more detailed reflection on the issues raised considering that “nothing is said either on the timing or on the clinical level”.
