At San Martino the Tac is there, but it has never been used

At San Martino di Oristano the Tac is there, but it has never been used. Purchased in 2019 for 800 thousand euros, it is still not installed because it took years to identify suitable rooms to house the machinery. "At this point I believe that the difficulties are mainly due to the lack of organization", says the regional councilor of the M5S Alessandro Solinas, who presented a question : "In this difficult historical moment, in which families are facing the consequences with sacrifice of record inflation, it is not permissible to ask citizens for further deprivation. Especially when they are forced to spend exorbitant amounts to be able to be cured. It is necessary to realize that many families are giving up to undergo an increasing number of examinations and checks due to lack of financial resources ".

And again: " It is not tolerable to ask patients who need a CT scan to perform it in private at the cost of hundreds of euros because in public hospitals the timing is shameful".

Solinas asked the President of the Region and the Regional Health Councilor for the immediate installation of the CT scan destined for San Martino di Oristano and the reasons why the machine is not yet available despite three years have passed since its purchase. .

"The Committee for the right to health of the province of Oristano also highlighted that the choice of installing the CT scan in the rooms of the old radiology, now undergoing adaptation, is not at all optimal, as the staff would be forced to move to a another wing of the hospital. Instead, the most appropriate solution would be to identify a free area that takes into account the needs of doctors and patients ".
