| A MEDICINE MEN AND WOMEN ARE IN THE SAME ROOM |
| Roberto Marini (provincial president UDC) |
 If anyone is still dreading the dismantling of our hospital, we also put his mind at rest because the decommissioning has already occurred. These days I got to go to visit hospital patients and so I personally have seen the deterioration of our hospital. A continuous nothing worth the health department's statements that always tries to reassure on improving quality and quantity of services. These are the facts: the mother-child area, which many fear and discontent among the citizens had originated from Elba for the reduction of beds for the possible commingling of children with adults, is proving to be structurally inappropriate. When I went in the infants department and there were five beds available for mothers, expectant mothers and women admitted to obstetrics were all busy enough to force the hospital to have a room of Pediatrics. In medicine, by contrast, there is a commingling in the same room of women and men. We recently moved from a "hotel" on a five-star hostel. In all this, our health professionals continue to work, doing somersaults in a time when, among other things, they are told that the cuts will have incentives to reduce the "Project Elba" by the region. We have repeatedly argued that the funds allocated by the Region of Tuscany with the aim of improving the health system Elba were largely used by the Company to cover the costs arising from existing services and that nothing had been added over time. Hence the reduction should not affect the incentives to our medical staff: in fact there is no service 'on' with those funds to maintain. |
