Went to the ASL in San Ben

Thanks for the info Helen. It does seem to be a problem we are having that is specific to the ASL in Ascoli Piceno. Another member in Macerata has also received their permanent registration with the health service. I now can't seem to raise the director of Ascoli whom I spoke to before. Avoiding me perhaps???

have been offline so have just seen your reply Penny. Do you think providing them with evidence of other people in other areas being able to get what you've been denied would help, or do you think they would then decide to tell all the other ASL's to start being difficult?!

I'm afraid the director's answer is that Ascoli have a deroga (extra piece of law) as I understand it which makes them different. I am trying to get hold of it as Charlotte Oliver kindly said she would take a look for me. As ever, it is not proving easy and we are now in August.....
