“I have prepared a parliamentary question with the aim of shedding light on many critical issues relating to the construction, in the municipality of Sant'Agnello, of the single hospital of the Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast, a centralization of coastal health care that goes against the discipline of the recent Ministerial Decree 77 which, on the contrary, pushes for a decentralization of the territorial health care network.
Governor Vincenzo de Luca's intention to accelerate its construction is clear, with the aim of bringing home a significant amount of funding under an old Program Agreement between the Executive and the Campania Region, created to reorganize the hospital network and public health assets.
However, if in Campania there is even a lack of staff for the Emergency Room, it is clear that to cope with the 200 beds of the new Center, they will draw from the hospitals of Vico Equense, Sorrento and Castellammare di Stabia, which would be closed or certainly weakened! Furthermore, we are talking about a structure without a parking lot and located near the very busy SS 145 Sorrentina: total chaos is predictable, as reported by the Metropolitan City of Naples which complained about the lack of a transportation study!
Furthermore, one must ask: why, even in the absence of ad hoc interventions, does the Risk Map relating to the area affected by the work not present any critical issues, while it was initially classified as "Zone R4 of very high hydraulic risk"? And, again, why did the Campania Basin Authority not participate in the Conference of Services, nor did it express its opinion? Perhaps because the objective was to obtain its 'controlled' silent assent? In doing so, the Region is accelerating an expenditure without the necessary guarantees for public safety, ignoring - however - that based on article 11, paragraph 2 of the Program Agreement, it can be integrated but also modified.
Yet, there is no risk of losing the funds and those who cite art. 1 paragraph 310 of Law no. 266 of 2005 on the hypothesis of revoking public funding omit the following paragraph, 311 which provides that the resources "made available following the provisions of paragraph 310, are used for the signing of new program agreements". Therefore, nothing prevents the Region from using these resources to further strengthen the health system of the Sorrento peninsula and optimize local assistance, rather than centralizing everything in Sant'Agnello.
This is required by the same law of 4 December 1993 n.492, cited in the same art. 5 of the Agreement, giving priority to suspended construction sites, completion works, restructuring works or in any case all works that guarantee a concrete, immediate construction siteability and a rapid conclusion of the works, even for functional lots.
Ultimately, why doesn't De Luca clearly state that, pursuant to Article 20 of Law No. 67/1988 on Program Agreements, the Regions can 'share new priorities and new goals, with respect to the general objectives set by the legislator with the launch of the program, in line with the regulatory changes that have occurred over the years and in relation to specific roundtables for the consultation of those fundamental parameters that characterize the healthcare offering and that are reflected, in particular, in safety, quality and expenditure'? These are assets that certainly do not characterize the planning offices of the Campania Region if they are guided by the arrogance and bullying that De Luca displays towards those who have local decision-making responsibilities".
Thus in a note Senator Orfeo Mazzella, M5S group leader of the tenth commission 'Social affairs, health, public and private work, social security'.
