Naples – A technical panel convened yesterday afternoon by the Prefect of Naples, Michele di Bari, reviewed the employment crisis affecting integrated home care workers in the ASL Napoli 2 Nord area. The discussion focused on the impact of the new regional accreditation system on employment levels for workers in the sector.
The concerns of the unions
The meeting, held at the Government Palace, was attended by the Administrative Director of the ASL Napoli 2 Nord, representatives of the trade unions CGIL Fp, CISL Fp, and UilFPL, as well as delegates from organizations accredited by the local health authority to provide the service.
The unions have expressed serious concerns about job security. The critical issue concerns the transition from the old procurement regime to the new accreditation system, introduced at the regional level, which has prevented the direct transfer of workers from one construction site to another.
The ASL's position: "The need covers all staff."
The Naples 2 North Local Health Authority (ASL) has provided some technical data to reassure the system's sustainability. Currently, 18 operators are accredited in the area, and the demand for services, according to the health authority, should ensure the employment of all staff currently working in the integrated home care sector.
New technical table for relocations
At the end of the meeting, the participants agreed to convene a new technical meeting. The goal will be to concretely assess the possibilities for relocating the affected workers to accredited facilities, identifying solutions that will safeguard employment levels and the continuity of healthcare services in the area.

But why isn't there a clearer plan for workers? Continuity of service is essential, but without sufficient staff, it will be difficult to maintain it adequately.
It's important that the unions are concerned about the job situation, but I don't understand how they can say everything will be fine with only 18 accredited workers. More needs to be done.
