“It would be an illusion to think that in the international context we are out of danger and politics must tell the truth and yesterday in Parliament I said so, explaining why we are calling for a state of emergency, because the data say that contagion is increasing and we must raise the threshold of care “, said Speranza. Then he went directly to the doctors present at the Fimmg congress and defined them as” an irreplaceable piece of the State. “” Improving the principles and studies of general practitioners is a interest of the country. I am fine with the money from the Recovery Fund, the Month and the State Budget, but I am interested that the season of cuts ends definitively and invest in our National Health Service (NHS). Because every euro you put in in your health is the biggest investment ”, stressed the minister.
Towards a reform of the National Health Service
Speranza spoke after the need to build a new great investment season in the National Health Service, seen as “everyone’s responsibility.” “Today we can imagine a reform of the NHS in a season in which there are no cuts, but more resources to put in place. We can share a drawing whose keyword is “proximity”. We have to imagine an NHS that reaches out to people and tries to respond to the needs of the community, ”added Speranza.

During his speech, Speranza also defined the willingness of family doctors to carry out rapid tests in their studies “an extraordinary message for the country.” Then she added that “the State and the Regions must get down to work immediately to guarantee conditions of maximum security.” “We can’t tell him to do the tests, but there are no masks. Therefore, those 235 million approved and used to bring first-level diagnoses to your studies must arrive immediately because they are needed today. We approved that provision in the budget law at the end of December, then there was an emergency, but now we are in a different stage and we need to accelerate. We have the tools and we can do it in the shortest time possible. Work is underway to accelerate this result and bring it home ”, concluded Speranza.
