Statute overview

About this statute

Le regioni must reduce hospital bed availability and keep it within the standards set here, including a cap of 3.7 beds per 1,000 inhabitants. The Minister of Health may set quality, structural, technological, process, outcome, and quantity standards for essential levels of care by regulation, with specified consultations and coordination, and the first application must be completed by 30 June 2005. Ministers may issue regulations by ministerial or interministerial decree only when the law expressly authorizes it, and they must not conflict with government regulations. These regulations must be communicated to the President of the Council of Ministers before they are issued. Regions and autonomous provinces must reduce accredited hospital beds to no more than 3.7 per 1,000 inhabitants and take related restructuring measures. The Republic must protect health, provide free care to indigent people, and the law cannot require a specific medical treatment except by law.
