drug tests for doctors, nurses, midwives and possibly teachers. Finally arrives in the yard the right decision by the Department drug policy through an agreement with representatives of the class, but that will now be put forward before the State-Regions Conference for the promotion final. Just as it is a protection mechanism for both students and for operating the same, thus forced to ask themselves in the best operating conditions for exercising their profession. Unfortunately, the measure does not cover the entire category: the directors, officers, coroners and medical staff not in contact with patients will be excluded from it. It is not yet known the way in which these checks are: when and how, control blood or urine or hair simple. In all cases, there is the obligatory, and is a measure long advocated by the same operators.
"We are gradually expanding these controls, which are left for truckers, drivers and pilots, to other risk groups such as doctors, who will be the next" said the undersecretary Carlo Giovanardi. "In this action - said Giovanardi - who is one of many that we have made in the field, as the new Highway Code which provides drugs to control who gets the license, we are comforted by the fact that while this growing network of preventive controls, consumption falls of drugs in our country. This means that education policies, information in schools and families, the policies of deterrence, as such as traffic controls, and these measures are bearing fruit: and that means lives saved, to prevent fatal and tragic events caused by those who work under the influence of substances. " "The problem - says the charge of drug policy - is to intervene before the desperate mother will appeal to television because her daughter died of ecstasy or the child was hit by a car driven by a drunk driver or had drug or both. Or, again, before a patient is treated by a doctor who loses control because the fact of cocaine, "as probably happened in Naples as revealed yesterday by a police operation.
"Well - he concludes Giovanardi - sono tutte misure prese per salvaguardare la sicurezza e la salute dei cittadini. Chi fa professioni che mettono a rischio la sicurezza e vuole assumere sostanze cambia mestiere». Vi aspettate proteste dai medici? «Penso di no, come non protestano militari, tranvieri, piloti, non vedo perchè dovrebbero protestare i medici».
«Ci sarà probabilmente - spiega il capo del Dipartimento, Giovanni Serpelloni - una differenziazione tra alcune categorie, considerate maggiormente a rischio, i cui lavoratori dovranno essere sottoposti tutti, periodicamente, a controlli antidroga e altre dove invece si sceglierà di intervenire con i test solo per una parte, tipo un 50% di lavoratori. Questo anche per motivi di copertura finanziaria». Gli insegnanti potrebbero rientrare in quest'ultima tipologia di controlli.
