Doctors, Region and unions sign the agreement: "Economic share more than doubled"
Green light for the supplementary agreement for general medicine, which has been on hold for almost 15 years
Agreement between the Region and trade unions on the structure of the new regional supplementary agreement for general medicine, which has been in place since 2010.
This was communicated by the Health Councilor Carlo Doria in a note, underlining how through the agreement «the fruits of arduous work which has occupied the regional table for about a year are reaped, with monthly meetings and close discussions which then saw the convergence of all parties in the field in the exclusive interest of patients and healthcare workers".
«A new regional integrative agreement for general medicine has been awaited for a long time and today, more than ever , the need was felt in a moment of radical change in territorial medicine which, with Ministerial Decree 77 and the rules dictated by the PNRR, acquires greater centrality in public health, abandoning the hospital-centric concept and favoring local medicine which requires real territorial strengthening and the use of all available resources, both economic and related to technological innovation ", he adds Doria.
Satisfaction was expressed by Umberto Nevisco , regional secretary of FIMMG, the Italian Federation of general practitioners, and by Domenico Salvago , regional president of SNAMI, the autonomous national union of Italian doctors.
«We are satisfied that the economic part has been more than doubled compared to the previous one. Unfortunately, some current regulations that are unfair and out of step with the times have prevented us from allocating the new emoluments as we would have liked. New challenges now await us regarding bureaucratic simplification and de-bureaucratization, focusing on a new structure of local healthcare, which has been forgotten for too long and deprived of the funding necessary for its recovery", underlined Salvago.
The comment by Piergiorgio Fiori , general secretary of the CISL, was also positive, stating that «After many years, action is finally being taken in the area through a re-evaluation of the former medical guard and an investment in technology at the service of the GP to avoid queues in the emergency room and provide thus providing a better service to citizens ."
