“Fnopi expresses appreciation for the provision on waiting lists, which demonstrates attention to one of the main critical issues of our National Health Service. In particular, we welcome with satisfaction the exceeding of the spending ceiling already foreseen for the hiring of staff, which We hope it will be fully financed with the necessary resources, and the tax relief provided for overtime. Measures that we have supported for some time.” This was said by the National Councilor of the National Federation of Nursing Professions Orders Carmelo Gagliano during the hearing in the 10th Commission of the Senate, as part of the discussion of the draft legislative decree containing measures for reducing waiting list times in healthcare services.
“Just as we support the recognition of the Family and Community Nurse, a strategic figure to combat waiting lists, but above all with respect to the new care needs of an increasingly elderly population made up of people with chronic and degenerative pathologies – he explained Gagliano – These are professionals capable of intercepting unexpressed assistance needs, allowing them to intervene early and before the problem manifests itself through all the services of the local health and socio-health network”.
Fnopi “hopes that this provision represents the beginning of a courageous path that will lead everyone to make drastic decisions on issues that involve and concern the future of health professions and therefore the well-being of citizens, such as the indispensable abolition of the spending cap for healthcare personnel. Allowing nurses to operate appropriately means being able to provide adequate responses to people’s real needs” he concludes.
