The intervention of the Five Star Councilor Paolo Ugolini and the response of the Health Councilor, Angelo Gratarola.
“There is a shortage of major nursing staff. There is a lack of ethical recognition and hospital facilities to guarantee safe work. There is no adequate hiring plan. Nursing staff are essential and must work in a safe place.” Thus the five-star councilor Paolo Ugolini (photo), during his speech in the Regional Council Liguria on the shortage of nurses in local health authorities.
“They should have been upgraded in April 2020 – recalled Ugolini -. What are the urgent measures to avoid impoverishment in the Local Health Authorities of Lliguria? In Liguria there are 2 thousand nurses missing and the weakness of the healthcare system has consequences on various levels, such as decreased time to dedicate to patients, delays, worse quality. A hiring plan is essential.”

The regional councilor for health responded to Ugolini, Angelo Gratarola: “This is a very important topic. Law 14 of February 2023, with the Millepeoroghe Decree, introduced new procedures and criteria in the stabilization of precarious persons. The deadline for meeting the requirements has been moved from 31 December 24 and has bought us time. There was an extension upon the extension, a selective procedure. There are important legislative innovations, which have expanded the access of those entitled to training. As regards the figures, the Liguria Region has identified 700 units for the nursing profession. A different topic, the problem of medical and healthcare shortages, which has deep roots and a multifactorial genesis.”
