At the 19th Arezzo Forum, which focused on risk management and the National Health Service, data was presented that sparked debate about the management of healthcare in Naples. In particular, the indicator of the average response time for 118 is at the center of controversy: according to the Forum's data, ambulances take at least 29 minutes to reach an emergency in the city.
Time for rescue
A note from the Health Authority directed by Ciro Verdoliva disputes these figures, stating that the average response time of 118 in 2023 was less than 19 and a half minutes, decreasing to 18 minutes in the current year. The discrepancy of 10 minutes compared to the data released in Arezzo is considered significant in critical situations and for the optimization of resources.
“Data published without verification”
The company also questions other data disclosed to the Forum, such as those relating to home care (ADI), declaring that their numbers fall within the required parameters.
The strategic direction of theASL Napoli 1 Centro announces that it will examine all published data to verify its accuracy and reserves the right to take any necessary action. It also criticizes the fact that incorrect data can reach Rome without prior verification that could be conducted with a simple phone call.
