over 4,400 in one day
With an online petition, Free called for it to be closed instead to strengthen basic medicine, compared to a service which – according to the opposition party, “after only six months shows all its title”. The theme returns in the hearing of the ISS leaders in Health Commissionwith the General Manager Francesco Beverofor which “the TOC is not a barrier, but a facilitator“, – so he said in the Chamber – and it is the “control room for the telemedicine” which – he adds – will be introduced gradually. He defends the work, but does not fail to thank those who launched the petition, in the common objective of protection of citizens. From the oppositions also suggestions, with future republic which offers the possibility of book exams via app, so as to lighten the amount of telephone requests. While Grace Zafferanifrom the Mixed Group, criticizes the choice to record calls to the COT, with reference to the protection of privacy.
The Secretary of Health, Robert Ciavattadetails the numbers of the calls themselves, data then taken over by the Social Security Institute, which, in a note, reminds you of how the service works and tips for correct access. It refers to the day of Monday 5, with a peak of 4,400 calls, the highest figure since the establishment of the COT, “so high – says the ISS – that it made it difficult to guarantee its efficiency”. Confirm a growing trend of calls, concentrated particularly and precisely on Mondays, remembering the opening hours throughout the week. High volume even on a monthly basis: in the last 30 days I was 29 thousand calls, a figure corresponding to the entire population of San Marino, excluding the pediatric population. Remember again how, once the pandemic emergency is over, there are no provisions prohibiting citizens from go directly to your doctor for issues deemed priority or urgent and therefore do not require an ordinary reservation through the COT.
