He played some visit for payment while he was on leave: this is the accusation addressed to the Undersecretary of Health, Pierpaolo Sileri, contained in a note from the Regional Health and Social-Health Integration Directorate of Lazio region. The government member was then reported to theOrder of doctors of Rome and at the University of Tor Vergata, the institute where Sileri worked as a doctor before becoming senator of the M5s. A question presented by Brothers of Italy in Parliament now asks the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, to evaluate the possibility of resignation for his undersecretary. But what a The Republic replies: “It’s about old documents and outdated, fake news artfully created by power groups against my person “.
The Roman daily reveals the contents of the note signed by the executives Massimo Annichiarico e Paola Maddaloni: “The professor. Sileri has exercised a professional activity, albeit by nature occasional, at the nursing home New Villa Claudia with charges borne by the single user and the Regional Health Service “. “Since this is an activity not carried out at the administration to which it belongs for the maintenance of skills, nor (of teaching and tutoring) free of charge – write the two managers – this will be transmitted to the Order of Doctors of Rome and to the University of Tor Vergata”. The law in fact allows to a doctor on leave of absence to carry out occasional activities, but only “to avoid the loss of acquired professionalism”. Furthermore, the performance must be free and take place in the clinic where you work.
Before joining Parliament in March 2018, Sileri was a doctor at the University of Tor Vergata, but he relies on the nursing home New Villa Claudia for training activities. In May of this year the case broke out due to some de services Hyenas, in which it is argued that the undersecretary had carried out paid visits and services. Sileri on the Mediaset broadcast had replied: “It was the activities of formation e tutoring“. The regional opposition and in particular FdI with the councilor Antonello Aurigemma however they have always contested this version, so much so as to push the Lazio health councilor, Alessio D’Amato, to arrange an investigation into the case.
The result is the note above, which also specifies that the proceeds from the Nuova Villa Claudia nursing home will be “deducted from the maximum level of financing for the current year because the nursing home, despite being in possession of cognitive elements capable of preventing the facts, he would have allowed the provision of benefits in a way that does not comply with the envisaged regulatory framework “. Sileri, however, rejects the reconstruction made by the two regional leaders and explains: “To realize this, just ask the general director of the Tor Vergata Polyclinic, the rector, the director of the graduate school, the Lazio health councilor and the president of the Order of doctors of Rome “. The undersecretary always writes The Republic, would like to reply in first person in the Chamber at the FdI question, in place of Minister Speranza.
