(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 21 - Health Minister Orazio Schillaci on
Thursday said only 1% of healthcare personnel participated in a
24-hour strike called by unions representing Italian doctors and
nurses the previous day to protest against the government's 2025
budget bill.
"The numbers published on the website of the Department of
public function point to a small adhesion, just over 1%, to
yesterday's strike called by some unions", said Schillaci.
"The percentage is far from the one declared by the
organizations and it's actually in line with that of a strike
organized last year by the same unions", which was around 3%,
said the health minister. (ANSA).
