Pa: Cgia, health Italian has debts of 24bn with suppliers – ANSA.it

The Italian health system has accumulated a debt with its suppliers at least 24.4 billion euro. The data refer to 2013 (latest available), and wishes to state the CGIA Mestre in its detection, which are certainly underestimated; In fact, the count does not include non-payments registered by the Asl Tuscany and Calabria . The health region is the most indebted of the New York , with 5.9 billion euro.

For the Cgia follow, among the most indebted, the health of Campania , with 3.8 billion euro, England and Piedmont , both with 2.2 billion and the Veneto, with 2 billion euro still be honored. However, if we compare the debt to the resident population, the primacy belongs to the Molise , with 1,416 euro per capita. Follow the Lazio , with 1,017 euro per capita, the Campania with 660 euro per capita and Piedmont , with 510 euro for each resident. “Although in recent years the trend of the stock of debt results in declining health – says Giuseppe Bortolussi, secretary of Cgia – is likely to believe that the figure for 2014 should not deviate much from that of 2013. Obviously, the policies in place by the last governments through advances liquidity also continued last year. However – he adds – taking into account the fa ct that in the course of 2014 should have accumulated a new share of healthcare debt and adding missed payments of Tuscany and Calabria , the total debt should not stray much from the result that emerged in the survey of 2013 “. These causes for Bortolussi debt. “While the local health authorities pay very late – he explains – is also now known that in many cases the supplies are purchased in amounts higher market prices and with strong regional differences.

If as he got to denounce last November the Minister Beatrice Lorenzin, health lurk around 30 billion euro of waste – adds – this may be evidence that some of the delays in payments is somehow attributable to this critical. In other words, it is not excluded that the agreements between the parties take place not written that the local health or nursing homes require payments to its suppliers with heavy delays, but at higher prices than those, for example, practiced in the private sector ” . Despite the amount of waste reported by the Minister Lorenzin, the Cgia though keen to point out that the Italian public health expenditure is lower by more than 1.5 percentage points of GDP compared to the French or German. Moreover, the quality of the service provided to Italian citizens, especially in many areas of the North, is unequaled in the rest of Europe.
