The Regional Health Department has published in Buras the new call for the assignment of permanent positions to general practitioners for the opening of clinics in vacant locations from 2021 or still without a doctor following the completion of the previous calls .

The doctors will have twenty days to respond to the notice : Ares will then draw up the rankings and materially proceed with the assignment of the locations.

“On the organizational level - declares the regional councilor for health, Mario Nieddu - we can finally say that we have brought the procedures for assigning the lacking offices in line with the timing provided for by the rules currently in force. This at the end of a complex activity launched to recover the enormous delays that we had inherited: just think that in 2019, at the beginning of the legislature, the lacking offices from 2014 were not yet assigned. After having assigned the offices until 2017, we banned and assigned, despite Covid in the middle, the 2018, 2019, 2020 and now 2021 locations ".

As for the most disadvantaged locations "we are in the pipeline - declares the commissioner - to define the criteria that will allow the identification of all those locations in the municipalities where it is particularly difficult to find professionals willing to accept assignments , this will allow us to foresee economic incentives to encourage doctors to open or maintain their own clinic in those locations ".

The vacant seats for primary care were banned by the Region after a survey of the ASL among those discovered. “A synchrony - explains the commissioner - completely skipped and now fully re-established. This is an important fact because now the calls will be able to respond to current needs, an aspect that could not be guaranteed through assignments after years, based on the needs of the territory which have now completely changed ".

There are 334 in all , the Region announces, “the vacant seats identified with reference to 2021 and put out to tender for all the territorial areas to which the Municipalities belonging to the health districts of the various Local Health Authorities belong . A number that also includes the locations that remained vacant due to a lack of requests from doctors at the end of the assignment procedures of the previous notice, relating to the vacant seats of 2020, published in August 2021, which saw the assignment of 64 locations on 141 banned ".

“To give answers to primary care in the region - emphasizes Nieddu - we have put in place and are putting in place every tool that the current regulatory framework makes available to us. The results collected with the latest assignment certify, as already reported, a shortage of doctors that weighs on all Regions and on which, as we have asked several times on national tables, urgent solutions must be found by the Ministry of Health, so that the rules and limits are modified which at the present stage are no longer adequate to guarantee citizens the right to assistance ”.
