What the “new normal” of Hope will cost per year: € 720,000 for 10 Covid Experts, plus various and possible
Special offer: new armchairs are distributed to the technicians who in these two years have acted as a fig leaf for the delusions of Hope and Draghi. Permanent contracts for everyone, for being silent and good, absolutely unheard and above all useless. Raise yourself.
The latest decree provides for the permanent accommodation of the experts who have supported the government during these two years of the pandemic. They will deal with the fight against epidemics and the procurement of drugs and vaccines. Task forces will weigh on the public budget.
We relaunch from the website www.IlParagone.it:
Armchairs are assigned
The Government is proceeding with the assignment of seats for all those teams of experts who, to date, have supported the pandemic management. The state of emergency is coming to an end and the commissioner structures too, so the Minister of Health Speranza immediately took care to have a paragraph inserted in the last decree that will allow the construction of a permanent task force for ordinary administration. With it, his ministry will have to manage a series of tasks, now temporarily assigned to a Ministerial Defense Unit, also established by the last DL. The Director of the latter will be appointed shortly, through a specific decree, on the proposal of Lorenzo Guerini.
The draft of the standard
From the draft of the standard we learn that "in order to strengthen the operational efficiency of its structures to guarantee support actions in the fight against pandemics in favor of regional health systems, ensuring the supply of drugs and vaccines for the treatment of epidemic diseases- emerging pandemics and personal protective equipment, also in relation to the objectives and interventions connected, immediately, to the implementation of the national strategic plan for vaccines […], the Ministry of Health is authorized to hire, starting from October 1st 2022, with an open-ended subordinate employment contract, in addition to the current recruitment faculties, a contingent of personnel ". This is the composition: "Four second-tier managers, six health managers", plus an unspecified number of "non-managerial personnel units with also technical professionalism".
The figures of public expenditure
Obviously none of them gentlemen will work for free. It will therefore be necessary to allocate a certain amount and then put it in the budget in the public coffers. Let's try to make an estimate. second-tier executives receive between 80,000 and 97,000 euros gross a year. Healthcare managers € 66,551.96 gross per year. Non-managerial personnel with F1 salary (the one identified by the decree) receive € 19,584.14 per year. It follows that, keeping low, the ten professionals who will certainly be recruited by the state should cost us around 720,000 euros a year. Figures that are not astronomical but that make you turn up your nose if you think about the fact that from March 31 onwards, unless specific extensions, hospitals will send home the staff hired by virtue of the state of emergency. While in the rooms of the palaces of power the armchairs are divided, no one is concerned with the chronic shortage of personnel in the Italian hospitals.
The new "normal"
Roberto Speranza, therefore, broadens his ranks and lays the foundations for what will have to be the "new normal". Although it may be conceptually passable to be prepared for new emergencies, given the wicked management of the last two years it becomes legitimate to ask questions about the real function of this new team. The fear is that we become too casual in using new epidemiological waves as a pretext for declaring future emergencies, re-implementing the consolidated restrictive practices that have been adopted in the two years of the pandemic, multiplying the technical structures in derogation from that ordinary administration that one Rule of law should be able to ensure its citizenship. Another legitimate concern is that future "emergencies" can be transformed into real assumptions.
Emergency structures become practice
After the commissioner, General Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, leaves his chair, the prerogatives of the management of health crises will be assigned to two ministries, Health and Defense. The first will equip itself with the aforementioned team, while the Guerini department, from 2023, will have an "initial nucleus of an emergency management unit" at its disposal. Here then the Government legitimizes the ordinary emergency, introducing a series of teams that will be legitimized to operate with extraordinary powers, given that our ordinary plants such as the Civil Protection, at this point, will deal with something else. On the other hand, many of our politicians and the President of the Republic himself, Sergio Mattarella, during various interventions, had warned us about what would be the legacy of the covid: a "new normal", obviously indefinite as the expert contracts.
