We demand a U-turn for Paolo Merlo, so that the right to health care is guaranteed as for all Sardinian citizens”.

I hope that those who are on sick leave can recover as soon as possible in order to help the city and colleagues who, with great sacrifice and a sense of duty, are carrying out the services themselves. The ATS system that has centralized resources and personnel management has totally failed. To have a chance it is necessary that the ASLs be restored, but with management powers ”.
