The situation is dire at the Policlinico Hospital in Naples: the fourth floor of the pediatrics ward, with 15 beds, has been closed for over a year due to a collapsed false ceiling. The ward had undergone renovations two years ago. "After the collapse, the Superintendency halted the work," explains Green Party regional councilor Francesco Emilio Borrelli, a member of the health commission, "because it discovered that illegal construction had been carried out to build an extra room in the 80s."
This department, intended for children, has 15 beds, which is certainly not a small number. It is already serious in itself that it has been unused for a year, but that a department of a hospital structure has undergone illegal work in the 80s seems incredible." "At this point, however, I have asked the Superintendency to express itself quickly to reopen the department by making it safe or to request the demolition of the illegal room. Sick children cannot wait for bureaucratic immobility," commented Borrelli.
