Nieddu (Sardinia), ‘we have 46 million for waiting lists but few specialists’

“The reduction of waiting times for healthcare services is a priority on which we are placing the utmost attention. We had started in 2019 with an allocation of 21 million euros, unfortunately unused due to Covid. Now with an additional 26 million euros from the central government, we have reactivated specific plans to increase the volume of services provided for the benefit of citizens. Unfortunately, we discount the fact that we have an insufficient number of specialists, even to manage ordinary business. So we have this difficulty, despite the important allocation of 46 million ”. Thus Mario Nieddu, Councilor for Hygiene, Health and Social Policies of the Sardinia Region, this morning on the sidelines of the presentation of the ‘Missed Cures and Pdta for chronicity’ analysis carried out by Salutequità, and of the proposals of the Permanent Observatory for Non-Covid Patient Assistance .
