Social Policies, Meeting of Regions with Minister

Ermanno Russo, Regional Minister for Social Welfare of Campania, after the meeting held in Rome with Minister Giovannini, commented on the outcomes: "Today’s meeting between Regions and Minister for Welfare Enrico Giovannini had overture outcomes. Regional Ministers for social policies reported to the Minister for Welfare about the impossibility for basic services to receive only 50% State allocation resources requested by Regions under the Stability Pact: 550 million € between National Fund for Social Policies and Fund for non-self-sufficiency compared with the required 900 million. The allocation is reduced to 69 million € if compared with last year: 550 million, instead of 619 million.”

Ermanno Russo concluded: “The Regions will present a paper with another proposal, on which the Government reserved to decide, but MPs should immediately react to enhance this bill”.
