Broken fridge causes vaccines to be lost in Forlì, according to the operator’s lawyer “it is the fault of ausl negligence, but the tax damage is discharged on the worker”
That 800 doses of Moderna vaccine were lost at the Forlì hospital January 14, 2021 “is certainly a damage”, which however “comes unloaded on the shoulders of the worker while there was one evident negligence on the part of the Ausl of Romagna “. This is how the lawyer Gian Andrea Ronchi sees it, who on March 30 will defend the worker, for whom the criminal charges have been dismissed, in the trial for tax damage that the Prosecutor of the Court of Auditors of Emilia-Romagna has quantified at 16,400 euros. To report the news is the agency To say.
To begin with, the worker in question “had not been trained” and it was “disqualified with respect to the role“the lawyer highlights speaking to Dire. Not only that,” but he had not been informed or that the refrigerator had been put back into operation “and not even of its contents, the anti Covid vaccines, in fact. refrigeration system “was outdated and had already shown malfunctions “, he was chosen” for the conservation of the precious vaccines, by subjects certainly more qualified than my client to make strategic choices for the hospital “, notes the lawyer.
As for the computer control system that emits alarms in cases of malfunction, and which therefore should have alerted the employee, for the lawyer “it was unsuitable”, in the sense that the alarms did not enable the person to understand the seriousness of the report. So much so that that evening, Ronchi continues, the attendant heard the alarm, turned it off and looked for “the string” that highlights the last signal, “noting that it was the lift”.
Ronchi then focuses on the ways in which the IT documentation was acquired after the fact. The computer register of the alarm system, “has never been subject to seizure by the authorities and, above all, it has never been analyzed by this“. The data provided to the Prosecutor, adds the lawyer,” were previously acquired, manipulated and summarized from a whole long series of subjects indifferent to the preliminary investigations and internal to the health authority, who intervened from the morning of January 15 until the following day, the moment in which the Carabinieri intervened. “The fact is that” the computer data are particularly exposed to alterations , even involuntary, which do not require specific technical skills “.
