(ANSA) - CATANZARO, 04 NOV - "This afternoon I went to Palazzo Chigi, and the first important fruit of the work carried out in recent weeks has arrived: the Council of Ministers has decided to appoint me commissioner for health in Calabria.
After more than a decade the management This delicate sector thus returns to the Calabrians. I had made a solemn commitment with citizens in the electoral campaign: this objective was already achieved with the first CDM after my proclamation as president ". This was stated in a note by Roberto Occhiuto, president of the Calabria Region.
"I thank Prime Minister Draghi, to whom I asked for a meeting to deepen the issues concerning Calabria - adds Occhiouto - the Minister of Economy Franco and that of Salute Speranza, and I thank the outgoing Commissioner Longo. From tomorrow I will, therefore, also be engaged on this delicate front , and on the health care reform I will measure the success or otherwise of my regional government. I will ask the national executive to work to implement the sentence of the Constitutional Court precisely on the health commissioner in Calabria, so that the commissioner can be assisted by experts selected by himself and by the government .
We have to win the challenge on health, and if there is a real team game it will be less difficult to excel in this difficult match.
I am ready to play in attack, to definitively turn the page to the Region, to allow the Calabrian people to finally have the services and assistance they deserve.
It will take some time, but we will succeed ". (ANSA).
