To blow up the case of Sicily, which later ended up on the table of the Minister of Health, and fuel suspicion of an attempt to “circumvent” the parameters on the monitoring of covid data, an audio released this morning on the newspaper website Sicily in which Mario La Rocca, general director of the Sicilian Region Strategic Planning department, speaks with the heads of the island’s health facilities and insistently asks them to be uploaded to the national Civil Protection platform. a certain number of intensive care beds: “All the first step must have fallen until November 15,” says La Rocca in this voice message of November 4. The director himself explains the reason for such urgency with the following words: “because today they will do the evaluations and according to the ICU beds they will decide in which band Sicilia resides ”referring to the 21 evaluation criteria used by the government control room to evaluate the regional restrictive measures. In fact, he then adds: “It is not acceptable for us to be subjected to more restrictions because there is resistance on the part of someone to open intensive or common care beds.”
The audio provoked the immediate position of the parliamentarian Claudio Fava, president of the anti-mafia commission of the Regional Assembly of Sicily, which requested the dispatch of inspectors from the Ministry of Health. “What does that mean? That it was necessary to load into the national tracking system even beds that do not exist – Fava asks -? What should be given as operational even to those who still lack the necessary medical personnel for intensive care? Are we here? altering reality so as not to end up in the red zone? ».
After the request for intervention of the inspectorsLa Rocca himself responded to the press agencies: «All the data uploaded to the Gecos platform of the Sicilian Region are true, all the available places. Any other action would constitute a crime. Let the Nas go and check everywhere even today. Enough of looting and news between what is said and what is tacit, which have the sole function of unnecessarily alarming public opinion.
But on Saturday afternoon from the Ministry of Health the communication that has been ordered arrives sending technical staff and agents of the Nas carabinieri in Sicily precisely on the question of the availability of hospital beds and intensive care.
Minister Boccia intervened in the case: «Citizens must be able to have complete confidence in institutions, especially during a pandemic that has put the whole world in crisis. The audio from the director general of the Sicilian region’s strategic planning department, Mario La Rocca, is serious and unacceptable; It is not possible that there is someone who risks frustrating the efforts made in recent months. We need immediate clarity. Trying to bypass the parameters in Covid data monitoring is intolerable. ” Thus, the Regional Minister for the Autonomous Communities, Francesco Boccia, announces “immediate investigations” in this regard.
