To address the dramatic condition of Ligurian healthcare which needs answers and certainties, the opposition forces in the regional council – Democratic Party, 5 Star Movement, Lista Sansa, Linea Condivisa and Azione – have filed today (Wednesday 26 June) the request for convocation of an extraordinary council on the situation of the Ligurian healthcare system.
“A necessary session, to discuss the state of implementation of the policies envisaged by the socio-health plan, to know the indicators of health, socio-health and territorial services, starting from the state of the waiting lists and the implementation of healthcare construction projects, passing from the evolution of the economic accounts of all companies, the ineffectiveness of the regional governance system, up to the impacts on Liguria of the initiatives promoted by the national government on health matters, including cuts in investments and delays in the implementation of the National Plan of Recovery and Resilience. Toti’s legacy on healthcare – say the council groups in the Region of the Democratic Party, 5 Star Movement, Lista Sansa, Linea Condivisa and Misto-Azione – is dramatic: no new hospital built since the right has been in government; an exploding health care deficit; an increase in the escape of patients who go for treatment outside the region; waiting lists that continue to be unsustainable, with tens of thousands of Ligurians giving up on treatment. A public health system with an extreme shortage of medical and nursing personnel and with extremely fragile local medicine. Finally, a Byzantine healthcare governance model, starting from the failure of Alisa, to mission structures and a system of consultancy, external advisors, control rooms, expensive and useless models without any positive impact on the organization and effectiveness of the system . This is the picture of public health in Liguria with the right in government. A picture destined to get increasingly worse in this limbo in which the right holds Liguria hostage, to which is added the inability of the council to implement policies capable of managing the right to health”.
