Spa hotel refuses New Year’s reservation to autistic children, the Lazio Region evaluates measures

The note of the Department of Health “The Department of Health and Social and Health Integration of the Lazio Region is considering the suspension of the accreditation of the ‘Fontana Olente – Terme di Pompeo’ structure in Ferentino for violation of the principle of equality in access to structures accredited to the Regional Health Service ( Ssr). Suspension is the preparatory act for revoking accreditation with the Ssr “, is written in the note of the Department of Health.

The mayor: “We will shed light on the case” For his part, the mayor of the municipality Antonio Pompeo says that “we are not like this, we will shed some light on the case”, also because today the hotel management has provided a different version of what happened claiming that the decision “not to proceed with the reservation “was taken” by the contact of the family group “and that from the hotel” the availability to stay has never been denied “.

Parents: “Let’s fight for a little normalcy” But the parents, even on Facebook, confirm everything, explaining that they had decided to spend New Year’s Eve together in a place to treat themselves to “a moment of healthy normalcy and give our children a new experience that could also contribute to our enormous integration work. social”. “We try to share our normality. That normality that, however – argue the parents in the post – is so screeching when it comes to disability. That normality that is not only a desire, but is and must be a right”. And they underline that they wanted to “tell this story not to unleash a media pillory, but because when certain things happen it is our duty not to turn our heads to the other side and fight for this sacred right”. One of the mothers of autistic children, also on the social network, also addressed Minister Speranza and the President of the Lazio Region Nicola Zingaretti asking to investigate “if the conditions exist for Pompeo’s spas to be able to boast the agreement with the health system for services provided “.

The mayor: “A single episode does not represent the city” The mayor of Ferentino however maintains that “this single episode, albeit serious, must not represent the city of Ferentino which has always shown great attention towards people with greater difficulties”, defining the small spa town as always “inclusive, supportive and engaged in social “. The first citizen invited the families to contact him “so that I can organize, in addition to a moment of clarification between them and the structure, also a stay in our city”.

Councilor for Tourism: “I am embittered” The Regional Councilor for Tourism and Equal Opportunities Giovanna Pugliese intervened on the matter, who said she was “desolate and bitter”. “Ours is a hospitable region, which makes hospitality – he points out – one of its strengths, as the many hoteliers who work every day to make their structures comfortable and welcoming for everyone know well. We will check with the trade associations how to ensure that such events do not happen again “. The group of Brothers of Italy, on the other hand, presented an urgent question to the President of the Zingaretti Region to find out what initiatives his Council intends to undertake on the “very serious episode” and considering “inadmissible that such events may still happen”.
