New hospital - Ok the Commission to place the Christ
After 13 meetings, including sessions and inspections, the Joint Commission Teritorio Policies and Health, chaired by Presidents Joseph Caridi and Roberto Sarti, Friday, November 21, approved in an advisory capacity, to place the Christ, the extension of Via Aldo Giordano, the seat of the new hospital.
The vote, however, has seen lined up on the one hand those who consider the location in town property in San Michele, the most appropriate after the one located behind the hospital Borsalino.
Qust'ultima especially advocated by Paul Berta, flanked by Paul Bellotti (DS), Vincenzo Demarte (Margherita) and Gianni Ivaldi (PD).
sided with the majority instead Malagrino and Miraglia (The Democrats) in favor of placing so the new hospital to Christ.
An exchange of positions and jokes more or less, there was lively from the outset when Ivaldi took the word of Christ saying that the area had already been chosen from the beginning but it would be a more appropriate choice, as well the cost of the abutments to choose Christ (18 million €), place it on the area owned by the City of Alexandria, to St. Michael.
area most appropriate - according Ivaldi, who was joined soon after also Bellotti - either by the proximity to the Borsalino, want the ease of connecting with the city served by five bridges, even counting the new bridge over the Tanaro constructing ring road that will lead to its San Michele.
"The more logical to operate on property of the City - is the comment of Demarte - but it was decided to purchase land not ignore our"
At this point the City's planning department intervened, Joseph Jordan, who explains that even if you had identified the area of \u200b\u200bSan Michele, the City did not cede to the free region.
intervention of Paul Berta (PD) has focused on the opportunity to choose the area near the Borsalino for ease of transport of patients by a structure able to respond quickly to the needs of patients suffering from serious diseases.
"A tunnel connecting the hospital with Borsalino is the dream I would like to achieve ", said Berta but also adds that the voluntary associations, which also should have been heard, were given notice very late to the point that some have received the day after the meeting with the Commission, both it is true that he had submitted only the representation of nurses, which concludes "The majority had already decided for Christ in spite of the high cost area and the need to build two roads to get there."
After Berta is the time for Bellotti challenging the method used to assign scores to different areas proposed, starting from the evaluation of the coefficients for which it was given the score 1 (the maximum allowed vicinanaze for the Borsalino) on the other hand was given a score of 1.90 (the maximum was 2), containment of the flood risk.
And yet "there is no doubt that the decision precostitutita is highlighted - the second Bellotti - by the absence of the cost areas - and yet - you've never seen an administration that chooses regardless of the cost" and concludes noting a possible reconsideration of the region in achieving the hospital in Alexandria, where else have better availability (in reference to the € 18 million it would cost the area identified in Christ).
In response to Bellotti, on the scores provided for the selection of the area, involved the architect Henry Pelizzone, which explains Not all assessments have the same relevance, hence the decision to consider a maximum score of 1 point to the proximity of Borsalino and 1.90 to the reduction of flood risk. Detail that has convinced the majority but the minority has left puzzled.
"The area Borsalino - it was the intervention of Aldo Rovito (AN) - is limited and does not offer the possibility in the future to expand. As for the problems of Borsalino is equipped with the specialties necessary."
"A real challenge to locate the new hospital - said John Barosini (UDC) - is no doubt that it should be located in an area that allows its development and that is why we believe the right choice to place the Christ."
"E 'instrumental identify today the area of \u200b\u200bSan Michele - says Antonio Maconi (AN) that adds cryptic - some of the blame on the area's Borsalino, still at risk after 14 years. As for the score is clear that should be enhanced because the risk is much more important "and then accusing the opposition claims to have developed the problem about the area of \u200b\u200bSt Michael only in extremis.
"The cost of the area should be an evaluation criterion," insists George Barberis (Communist PRC) who claims not to understand why this aspect has been assessed in areas identified "care who is the owner of the areas we are going to acquire - Continued Barberis - we're talking about 18 million € and is acquired when the area of \u200b\u200bSan Michele money that would come into municipal coffers swell the pockets instead of an individual that he will remember the next time elections. So - and ends - is not true that the doubts were swept away in this respect. "
Now the ball is in the City Council in the meantime you will find a space on the agenda of the Commission to audit the voluntary associations and trade unions they would have received the summons by a wide margin late.
