Maneuver. Florence Medici Order: “In service up to 72 years? It does not solve the problems of the emergency room”
President Dattolo criticizes the amendment approved in the Social Affairs Committee of the Chamber: “It will only serve to prolong the career of university professors.”
08 DEC – “It will have an impact on a few hundred professionals. He will only serve to prolong the career of university professors, but he certainly won’t solve the problems of the shortage of doctors in the emergency rooms ”, this is the comment of Pietro Claudio Dattolopresident of the Order of Surgeons and Dentists of the province of Florence, to be approved by the Social Affairs Commission of the Chamber of the amendment which provides for the possibility for doctors to ask to remain in service up to the age of 72.
“The risk, given that the amendment will be valid until 2026, is that no more doctors will be hired for at least the next 4 years – underlines Dattolo -. It is not true that there are no doctors, there is a lack of specialists, especially emergency/urgency specialists, but this amendment will certainly not solve the problems of emergency rooms. You certainly can’t put a 70-year-old on night shift in an emergency room. We therefore hope that politics will retrace its steps. If they want to solve health problems, they have to invest in personnel, hiring young doctors and not keeping those who can retire in service”.
Dattolo then relaunches a proposal: “Let’s take the money from the Mes, from the European Stability Mechanism, and use them to hire health personnel, to fill, for example, community houses that risk becoming empty containers”.
