Compliance with waiting times for initial visits and diagnostic tests in individual Italian regions during the first nine months of 2026 shows a positive trend. However, this is not the case in Sardinia: this is where the situation is most critical.
This data emerges from the Bulletin on Waiting Lists updated to September 30, 2026, presented today by Agenas. Specifically, for first-time visits, four regions show a compliance rate of less than 70%. Within this group, all regions have improved, except Sardinia, which has actually worsened: Friuli-Venezia Giulia (67.8%), Sardinia (64.3%, down from 68%), Umbria (62.7%), and Puglia (55.3%).
The regions with the best performances and above 90% are: Basilicata (99%), Marche (94.7%), Lazio (92.3%), Veneto (90.5%), but in some cases the high percentage could be attributable to an excessive number of prescriptions that can be scheduled for 120 days (class P) and therefore attributable to a criticality of appropriateness of prescribing by the doctor or of taking care of patients over excessively long periods of time.
For diagnostic tests, three regions recorded a compliance rate below 70%: Valle d'Aosta (69.7%), Umbria (64.7%), and Puglia (63.4%). Veneto (97%), Campania (95.8%), Basilicata (95.1%), Marche (92.5%), Lazio (90.7%), and Tuscany (90%) performed better, achieving rates above 90%.
