Among some criticisms, the PdL amendment was approved in the Senate Budget Committee
Green light for a law that maintains the 'limited number' of pharmacies. An amendment to the maneuver (to the article on liberalizations) was approved by the Senate Budget Committee, which clarifies the need to maintain "the limitation on the number of persons entitled to exercise a profession" for professions "connected to human health '.
FREE MARKET? NO - If the health sector "were abandoned to the free market - reads the report accompanying the amendment - the logics that would govern the dislocation of these services would no longer be those of easy accessibility, capillarity and universality of the service but only those of economic convenience”.
CRITICISM – The amendment, presented by the PDL, has created contrasts within the majority, which voted for it together but with the 'criticism' from Forza Sud, because there had not been a prior discussion on the proposed modification norm. (Adnkronos)
