Reform of the Law Delegating Care for the Elderly Discussed in 10th Senate Health Commission
The reform of the law delegating care for the elderly was discussed at a hearing at the 10th Senate Health Commission recently. Sebastiano Capurso, president of Anaste, expressed his views on the reform and highlighted various important points.
“The Anaste has viewed with great favor the launch of this reform,” said Capurso. However, he also brought attention to certain shortcomings in the reform, such as the loss of characteristics related to social and health integration, and the fragmentation of interventions.
Capurso also pointed out positive elements of the reform, including the criterion of the Single National Evaluation, the universal benefit, and the introduction of multi-service residential centers. He emphasized the need for expanding the universal benefit and addressing the imbalance between the North and South in terms of the distribution of beds for long-term care.
“We as ‘public service concessionaires’ and therefore LEA providers believe that the RSA is one of the central elements within this system and that therefore the multi-service residential center is a huge step forward and allows us to reposition the RSAs exactly where we want them. We see, that is, within the NHS, as an integral part of territorial services,” Capurso said.
He also stressed the importance of human resources and the need for specialist RSAs with suitable medical assistance to reduce improper hospitalizations and provide better care for the elderly.
The reform of the law delegating care for the elderly is a topic of great significance, and discussions at the 10th Senate Health Commission shed light on its various aspects and potential implications.
