– For Matteo Renzi that the spending review of ministries began to be a more tortuous than expected. For the second time, the meetings between the prime minister and his ministers, to set savings goals (at least 3% per department), have been postponed. According to “The Messenger” Renzi think 3 billion in cuts in health care. The objective is that the opposition of the Regions: “The government thus breaks a pact of honor”, they say.
Chiamparino:” To risk a relationship of trust “- ” With the government in August, we signed a pact of honor on health: if it breaks there is less trust and cooperation. “So the president of the Conference of the Regions, Sergio Chiamparino, cuts in health . “In the beginning of August – he explained – we signed a pact of honor with the executive: the Pact for Health who has committed, up to December 31, to write plans of reorganization of health services and has provided a fund to be 109 billion euro, an increase of about 2 and a half billion more in the year to 2015 and 2016 to fund the National Health Service. “” If you break this pact of honor also breaks the relationship trust and cooperation that we instead would like to continue, “he continued. Which has also made known that he had written a letter to the Minister Lorenzin where he asked to keep the money and commitments agreed upon and have been activated for a confrontation with the government.
