The Ascot scandal erupts, with doctors unpaid for three months on the verge of an indefinite strike: "We risk paralysis."

A new case is about to explode and risks further crippling Sardinia's healthcare system, paralyzing primary care across the island.

For three months, doctors at Ascot, the emergency territorial continuity clinics that provide care to patients without a GP, have not been paid . And starting in March, they could resign or go on indefinite strike.

Forza Italia regional councilor Piero Maieli raised the alarm: "They face daily expenses to get to their places of work. Their collaboration was asked for and they gave it, but they are not paid."

There are 150 doctors who are threatened with a state of agitation starting next month , the Forza Italia councilor defines the fact as "extremely serious".

"Direct healthcare provision across the region is at risk of paralysis," Maieli denounces, announcing the resignations of the 150 doctors certified for Ascot. "These professionals will also begin an indefinite strike starting March 1st, demanding payments for past due fees and expenses that have not been paid for three months due to the failure to refinance the specific fund ."
