The fund for eating disorders was not ‘forgotten’ in the Budget: “It had been established awaiting the arrival of the Lea which this government approved in July 2023. Yes, the Lea, they had been forgotten by previous governments”. Thus Health Minister Orazio Schillaci told Corriere della Sera. “To apply them overall, we have foreseen an allocation of 50 million in 2024 and 200 million in 2025” he adds, which means that “the funds for eating disorders have become structural, from now on they will always be there. deemed necessary to intervene with an extraordinary sum. In the previous two years, 2022 and 2023, the allocation was declared temporary”.
However, the LEAs have not yet taken effect: “The Regions, for organizational reasons – he replies – asked for a postponement and this led to the need to refinance the temporary fund for eating disorders for the few months of the postponement”.
“The money will arrive, it will have to be spent and above all it will have to be spent well. I am surprised by the cries of alarm from the opposition – he continues – When they could have intervened, they preferred the warm blanket of extraordinary funds to the certainties of the new Lea, left by them in the drawer since 2017”.
