The Government has stopped raising the ceilings for general practitioners, up to the limit of 1,800 patients, envisaged by a rule drawn up by the regional councilorship of the Solinas council and approved last May by the Regional Council.
This rule, on a voluntary basis and pending a national agreement, had been adopted, as explained by the Health Councilor Carlo Doria , "to deal with the emergency due to a shortage that weighs particularly heavily on the peripheral offices of the region " .
The Council of Ministers halted the provision, as it "exceeds the statutory powers of the Sardinia Region and, being in contrast with the relevant state legislation, violates the exclusive state competence in the field of civil law. Furthermore, it violates the requirement connected to the constitutional precept of equality (article 3 of the Constitution)".
Specifically, the Cel cdm resolution states that "any exceptions to the ceiling set by the national law of 1,500 patients may be authorized in relation to particular local situations for a specific time, in any case not exceeding six months".
And again: «In implementation of the regional programming, the Air (Regional Supplementary Agreement) can provide for the raising of the ceiling up to the maximum limit of 1,800 choices exclusively for doctors who operate in the multi-professional organizational forms of the single role of assistance primary, with secretarial staff and nurses and possibly other health personnel, to ensure continuity of assistance in disadvantaged areas identified by the Region in which this increase is necessary to guarantee assistance".
