Craxi (Fi), amnesty on dismissed doctors is a mistake, we will ask for changes in the Senate

The provision voted in the Chamber, which introduces an extraordinary path to readmit to the Registers the healthcare professionals removed during the Covid years, does not convince us and cannot remain as it is. In the Senate it is our intention to work to modify it.

I want to be clear, because on issues of this sensitivity, ambiguity is of no use to anyone. The right to express opinions, even critical ones, on healthcare choices is sacrosanct and no one intends to question it. Another matter is the professional and ethical duties of those who wear a lab coat.

It is not up to the legislator to eliminate by law, with a swipe of the sponge, decisions that fall within the jurisdiction of the Orders and which concern individual conduct. We cannot forget that during the years of the pandemic, thousands of doctors, nurses and workers kept the country afloat in extreme conditions, and many of them lost their lives caring for the sick.

When the text arrives at Palazzo Madama, our group will do its part to correct it because the health of citizens and the credibility of the medical profession come before any ideological flag. This was declared by Stefania Craxi, president of the senators of Forza Italia.
