Roveredo RSA closes, one-year extension in Sacile. Unions and PD protest

And there are also two RSAs in difficulty in western Friuli. The official announcement has arrived that the Roveredo in Piano facility will close on August 1, while the Sacile facility will continue for at least another 12 months. In Roveredo, 24 beds are being lost and the unions are concerned for the 34 workers involved. The closure was decided by Asfo, which no longer considers the RSAs strategic and aims to reconvert the places between Casa Serena and the Policlinico in Pordenone. Mayor Paolo Nadal takes note and hopes for a new use for the Roveredo facility. Meanwhile, the provincial Democratic Party is protesting, with secretary Fausto Tomasello calling the closure of the RSAs "a very serious act, which definitively unmasks the right. It is an operation against public health - he concludes - and the suspicion is that the Policlinico San Giorgio is being compensated for the loss of the birthing point".
