(ANSA) – ROME, APRIL 07 – “We are not saying that no funds have been allocated to healthcare but that they are simply not enough because the gap, after 15 years of disinvestments, is too wide and the National Health Service today has too much need for resources and reforms, because resources alone are not enough”, he states. “Just think that according to previous studies, almost 50 billion euros would be needed to fill that gap that has developed over 15 years, which is impossible”, says Di Silverio for whom the ESM was among the missed opportunities. Hence the request for “courageous choices, those – states the trade unionist – which distract money from other situations, from war, from weapons, from the praise of Lotito and company who give 800 million to Serie A football teams, from tax evasion” .
“The autonomy bill as it is carried out will increase the percentage of those citizens in Italy who already turn to private healthcare today by well over 24%, compared to a European average of around 8-9 percent”, Secretary Anaao continues, hoping for “a long discussion in Parliament and announcing a series of meetings and information campaigns, in various Italian cities from April to June, open to citizens, mayors and governors”.
A technical forecast table from Nadef from last October spoke of a decline in healthcare spending on GDP between 2020 and 2025 of 1.2 points, underlining however that in 2020 GDP recorded a strong contraction due to the effect of the initial stage of the Covid emergency and to return to 2022 levels, almost 10 billion would be needed in 2024 and 2025. In their appeal on 3 April, the 14 scientists and Nobel Prize winners highlighted that 6.2% of GDP will be allocated in 2025, less than twenty years ago. Today the health fund is 134 billion (compared to 114 in 2019) and 3 billion more have been allocated by the government for 2024, 4 for 2025 and 4.2 for 2026.
