ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The agreement on the National Plan of Government of the Expectation Lists (PNGLA) 2026-2028 was reached in the State-Regions Conference. A long-awaited plan that aims to improve access to health services, reduce waiting times, ensure quality care and ensure citizens with more homogeneous services in all regions. The Conference of Regions makes it known.
In the light of the objectives of the Plan, the Regions stress the importance that “a constant comparison is guaranteed both with Agenas and with the Ministry of Health aimed at two objectives: on the one hand, verify the congruity of the economic resources that will be necessary for the implementation of the Plan, given the clause of financial invariance inserted, and on the other hand, ensure the adequacy of the measures that will be put in place to improve the appropriateness prescribed”.
With the agreement, Regions and autonomous Provinces undertake to adopt within 120 days a regional plan of government of waiting lists in accordance with the national one and to strengthen its monitoring.
SCHILLACI “ULTERIORE PASSO IN AVANTI”
“The approval at the State-Regions Conference of the National Plan of Government of Waiting Lists 2026-2028 (Pngla) is a good news for the National Health Service. It is a free way that further strengthens our ability to give answers to citizens in the right time.” So the Minister of Health, Orazio Schillaci. “With the new Plan we make a further step forward in building a more efficient, transparent, fair and citizen-oriented system.”.
The Plan, approved today in the State-Regions Conference, in accordance with the Decree-Law on Waiting Lists No. 73 of 2024, converted into Law 107 of 29 July 2024, “confirms the paradigm shift on waiting lists that as a government we have carried forward since our settlement”, explains the Minister. The document does not intervene, in fact, only on the issue of increasing the offer of services, but on the government of the application through: prescriptive appropriateness, unification of the booking agendas, strengthening of the paths of protection, system of monitoring and transparency of the data. The Pngla now provides that the Regions adopt specific operational plans within 120 days with an annual update on the implementation of the measures envisaged. “I thank the Regions for working in a constructive spirit to achieve this important goal in the exclusive interest of the right to health,” Schillaci concludes.
