«We will indicate to the private individuals participating in the agreements the priorities on which to intervene with the additional funds allocated for healthcare» .

Thus councilor Armando Bartolazzi , heard by the Budget Committee, spoke about the problem of waiting lists and the additional funds allocated with the budget change .

«The problem of waiting lists is common to all Italian regions», observed the member of the Council, «once the hospital was for acute patients but the aging of the population means that there are more and more chronic patients . With the resources allocated in this measure, approximately 5.5 million, we will ask the private individuals to do what the public cannot do, indicating priorities ."

If Alleanza Sardegna, with Stefano Schirru, praised the increase in the budget for private individuals to streamline waiting lists, recalling the ruling of the Council which allows Sardinia to spend more ("it confirms the correctness of our positions on the management of the last 5 years"), criticism of the councilor came from the Progressives.

The resources allocated, observes Francesco Agus, are "homeopathic drops given to a patient with leprosy" . Doubts about the increase in the budget for private individuals: «There is a risk that these sums will not really go where they are needed because the affiliates will provide additional services where it is more convenient for them to do them and not where we have waiting lists with scheduled visits in 2026. "

There was also talk of 118 , Alleanza Sardegna asked for a "serious commitment" noting that "there are no longer any associations and cooperatives that abandon the ambulance service because they are overwhelmed by the costs of purchasing vehicles and paying staff ». Bartolazzi, on the subject, has committed to allocating "adequate" resources in next autumn's budget .
