Nine million euros to boost the hospitals in the region

Almost nine million euros are about to be given to the two socio-medical agencies in the Province of Varese. The assignment was decided yesterday morning, Monday the 16^th, by Fontana’s council.

Overall, the Region is giving 103 million euros of its own resources from the special fund for sanitary building, which will be directed to the strengthening of sanitary facilities.

INTERVENTIONS

“Through the measure approved today,” said Giulio Gallera, the Assessor for the Welfare of the Lombardy Region, “we are allocating 75 million euros to ATS (agency for the protection of public health), ASST, IRCCS (centres for specific recovery and care) and AREU (regional agencies for emergencies), for interventions to modernise technological devices, to increase security and comfort in the facilities and improve the sanitary offer in the region (for example POT, regional hospitalization centres, PreSST, regional socio-medical centres). Further approvals will give 20 million euros for minor interventions, which the Agencies will include in their investment plan, and 8 million for the completion of the works that have already started, and that need further financing.”

Now the Agencies have to arrange the projects so that they can invest the assigned funds, identifying the areas of technological innovation or sanitary building. The ATS will verify that the projects will actually be able to reach the prefixed objectives.

1.5 BIILLION EUROS FINANCED IN THE 10^TH LEGISLATION

“During the 10^th legislation,” claimed Gallera, “about 1.5 billion euros (1 billion of region funds and half a billion of state funds) have been allocated for the Socio-medical System, 500 million of which from 2016 alone. About 1 billion has been destined to finance projects of structural modernisation: POT, PreSST, new wards, increase of security, better comfort in the wards, renovations and new facilities, financing of the agreements already planned (Policlinico, San Gerardo in Monza, etc.); 250 million euros for the modernisation of the technological devices and strengthening of the informative systems of the Agencies and of the public IRRCS; 250 million to finance the interventions within the business plans (further projects of minor complexity that are included in the business planning).”
