Recent developments concerning the Desenzano del Garda hospital have raised concerns among members of the Keep the Hospital Committee, who accuse the Assembly of Mayors of failing to adequately address the issue of the new healthcare facility. In a communication sent on May 15, the committee challenged the claims made by President Lavelli, who stated that the assembly lacked the authority to discuss the construction of the hospital. They emphasized that such an interpretation would represent an abdication of the role of safeguarding public health. The committee announced its intention to send a formal letter requesting an urgent assembly meeting and a consultation on the project.
Furthermore, the committee highlighted the necessity of ensuring citizen participation in strategic decisions regarding local healthcare services. They also called for a public assembly to allow residents to express their views on choices that will impact the healthcare organization in the area for decades to come. If they do not receive a response within 30 days, the committee plans to take legal action to protect the right to civic participation.
