NAPOLI. “The lack of planning of the actual need for specialist services and the insufficient allocation of funds to guarantee, in accreditation, until December 31, the provision of analyses, x-rays and specialist visits were not enough, as well as the inconvenience for citizens forced to rely on the kilometre-long waiting lists of state-run facilities. To further complicate matters, now comes yet another regional circular which, contradicting the one previously issued, throws the accredited Campania facilities and the Health Authorities themselves into accounting chaos. We are now in chaos and the urgent need for the entire sector, left at the mercy of bureaucracy, to activate legal procedures for the recovery of their dues, or of the services already provided to users”. This was stated in a joint statement by Gennaro Lamberti, president of Federalab Italia, one of the main trade associations of private outpatient centers accredited with the National Health Service (with over 600 associated facilities present in Campania alone) and Bruno Accarino, president of the National Union of Radiologists Area. "The governor Vincenzo De Luca, who had promised so much in the past, regarding the reorganization of the sector with simple and transparent rules, has no choice but to share, with his predecessors, the organizational failure and the primacy of spending on interests and legal fees, taking funds away from the need to guarantee care to the population" conclude Lamberti and Accarino.
