Even if another orientation emerged from the subsequent majority meetings, which (also) provides for the strengthening of San Michele ( HERE THE NEWS ).

Pending new measures that formalize the new line, the proceeding goes ahead. T he Region had given a mandate to Ares to identify the area for the construction of the new health facility and to carry out a feasibility study. The regional health agency, in turn, has launched an expression of interest to recruit a professional, or a company, to support the person in charge of the procedure, Giampiero Testoni, in the "drawing up of a feasibility study". «functional to the reorganization and dimensioning of the functions of the San Michele dell'Arnas “Brotzu” hospitals and the Oncological Hospital-Businco, or other structure of interest».

The interested operator will have to carry out a job that:

  • defines the clinical-management efficiency objectives of the delivery network;
  • decline the necessary intervention actions (adaptation of bed allocation, redevelopment interventions of existing facilities, etc.)
  • indicate the priority level of the interventions;
  • define the strategic positioning of the new hospital within the supply network;
  • determine the clinical-managerial sizing of the new Cagliari hospital , taking into account the functions and services and the preliminary assessment of the surfaces necessary for each health function and support functions;
  • identify the best site, among those proposed by the Public Administration, on which to build the new Cagliari hospital, taking into account the road axes and travel times for accessibility by users and which can be equipped with a helipad (with requirements established by ENAV) and adequate parking area;

In adhering to the Ares tender (which made 138 thousand euros available), the professionals should also have indicated the market price of their service. The notice expired on July 6 and the task has not yet been entrusted. On the 5th, requests for clarifications arrived from an interested group. It reads: «Article 3 of the notice requires indication of the market price for the design service, but without information about the amount of the structural work it is not possible to calculate the consideration. A clarification is therefore required."

Ares' answer: "The purpose of this notice is to identify an economic operator for the preparation of a feasibility study which leads, among other things, to an accurate analysis of the economic-financial sustainability of the works to be carried out".

So: how much the eventual new hospital will cost is not known. But the Region has already made it known that it has one and a half billion available for the four (new) ones to be built throughout Sardinia.
