Medical unions-Schillaci: the board fails: “Health care is the last concern of politics” – Notizie.com

“Health is the first concern of citizens but the last of politics.” Meeting today between the medical unions and the minister Orazio Schillaci.

Sufficient resources to support staff and reduce working hours. Abolition of the cap on staff expenditure, recruitment plan and in general the lack of a general overview that looks to the future of the national health system. These are now daily complaints from doctors and nurses. Schedule today, Wednesday 27 November, with the Minister of Health.

The meeting left almost all unions dissatisfied. “We ask Minister Schillaci to be the spokesperson for our discomfort at the Ministry of Economy and Regions. We ensure our contribution by representing the cases and urgent needs that doctors from all over Italy report to us, but we expect them to be listened to and not mocked on them”. So was the president of Cimo-Fesmed Guido Cinci in a note.

The national health system has been waiting for reform for forty six years. Doctors believe that the resources allocated in this year’s budget law are not enough. On paper, the funding has increased to 1,302 million for 2025, 5,078 for 2026, 5,780 for 2027. 6,663 million for 2028, 7,725 for 2029 and 8,898 from 2030. Funds that are not enough according to doctors. In a recent hearing at the budget committees of the Parliament, Gimbe denied a lack of 19 billion between now and 2030.

“There is no need to give baby bonuses if women cannot spend time with their children because of work”

More and more doctors are going abroad, no foreign doctor is coming to work in Italy. And many professionals prefer to work for a fee to better manage their private lives, even at the cost of providing contractual protections. “It is useless to give child bonus if a woman who works in health care can never be with her child because she works every day and there is not even a company nursery to take the child. These are the structural reforms to guarantee rights and birth rates.” As, to Notizie.com Flavio Civitelliassistant secretary Anaao Assomed.

One of the ideas that the government is showing today is to do the changes in the budget law which provides for a tax exemption for doctors’ salaries, in exchange for a monetary increase in salaries. “Tax exemptions will provide immediate resources for colleagues, especially younger ones”, Civitelli’s comments.

“The cost to the state would be lower than the increase in the paycheck. If we were talking about 200 euros per month net extra we could agree, but since the available resources are limited, we can only refuse the crumbs. The flight, the layoffs, the flight from the public system, the dissatisfaction towards the system and the problems of citizens will continue. “

Not to mention the freeze recruitment“which hit shift workers the hardest” e “Because of the lack of attention to the decriminalization of the medical act, the lack of clarity on the integration of doctors in training and specialists”. All these elements that, according to the assistant secretary Anaao Assomed “Confirm an attitude of little attention and interest in health”. It is at the same time”the first concern of the Italians and the last among those of the government”.

Reporting companies that do not honor employment contracts

me Anaao Assomed doctors announced new forms of protest after the general strike on 20 November. The next one will be taken against basic companies that do not respect employment contracts. The battle has already begun with formal complaints against 60% of healthcare companies.

“According to the legal system it is illegal. We will start with the most serious cases, and then we will move on with the others where rights are denied.” In the sights, night movements and access which should be five and ten respectively in a month, but regularly exceed it. “Every day we find ourselves fighting a double war in the wards, on the one hand the disease, on the other the war to enforce our growing rights. From the rules about working hours, through positions at the pole, up to goals, guards and access. In short, we’ve gone from a bill of rights to paper rights.” So, in a note, Pierino Di Silveriosecretary of the Society. The warnings have already arrived in several sectors. “Let’s move on.”
