Long distance question and answer between Flavio Sensi - general manager of the ASL of Sassari - and Desirè Manca - regional councilor of the M5s - after the latter's visit to the hospital in Alghero.

"Dr. Sensi - writes Manca - declared to the local press that my presence at the Civil Hospital of Alghero was not "authorised", evidently ignoring that any regional councilor does not need any authorization to be able to access the regional structures, including health services, to ascertain their regular functioning, or the deficiencies that need to be remedied".

«I also read that, again during the same access, according to Dr. Sensi, I ignored the patients' right to privacy and, finally, that I neglected "the company guidelines regarding sources of infectious contamination within healthcare facilities ”. Well - continues the councilwoman - during my visit, I did not take photographs or videos of anyone, but I limited myself to exercising my right of access by viewing the hospital premises and offices, without drawing on the sensitive information of the patients. The same people who daily ask for my intervention in the health structures of the entire Region, in the light of the disastrous situation in which they find themselves».

«It appears equally untrue - adds Desirè Manca - the statement that I would not have complied with the company guidelines on sources of infectious contamination. If these guidelines are respect for safety distances, hand disinfection and a mask, I would like to inform DG Sensi that in all accesses to health facilities, as well as on the occasion of meetings with fragile people or with anyone who requests it , I have always worn the mask correctly, not only as a respect for the rules, but as a form of respect for people. If then there are other guidelines, different from those practiced by everyone for over three years, I'm not the only one to ignore it, because, during a second inspection visit this morning at the Civil Hospital of Alghero, functional upon acquisition of the Guidelines in question, Dr. Gioachino Greco candidly confessed to me that he did not know them. And since I waited over three hours for a copy to be provided with the relative protocol number, I have the clear feeling that the guidelines are not lost, but are completely missing, although they are heralded to the newspapers to attack my person ».

Manca therefore presented a formal request for intervention by the President of the Regional Council, Michele Pais, and a request for access to the documents to the Councilor for Health, Carlo Doria, to request a copy of the "Company guidelines regarding the sources of infectious contamination at the within health care facilities.
