December 21, 2013

“It’s a legal matter extremely disturbing. I am very concerned about the health of Italian citizens and for those families who are in conditions of great suffering. ” This was stated by the Minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin, with respect to the method Stamina on the sidelines of the visit today in Chieti clinicizzato hospital where he was able to visit the National Centre for high technology in ophthalmology. And at the end of his visit, before leaving the hospital, the minister met Andrew, the father of Naomi, the girl of 18 months of Guardiagrele for which there has been the go-ahead by the judges of the TAR to the Eagle access to emergency method Stamina.

‘policy – said Lorenzin – must do and must comply political science and the scientific method. As a minister I have to watch so that the rules are complied with and, most importantly, the health of citizens. ” The statements about the method Stamina stem precisely from the story of Naomi. “The NHS can not afford to authorize treatments that are not considered as such according to the science,” said Lorenzin yet. That “the minister is a third party, is not an enemy of the families, but also has to do to apply the law, leaving science to its task. From this story come out of difficult lessons: revising the care of the sick and reflect on the need to strengthen the scientific institutions. I believe that Parliament should deal with these issues. If the institutions take a blunder they have to pay for it. For my part, I would express my understanding that, however, can not become irrational. ”
