PESCARA In April, the Regional Council will be able to eliminate co-payments on medicines: this was announced by the Councilor for Health, Bernardo Mazzocca, in the «Question time» in the Regional Council in Pescara. «The control of pharmaceutical expenditure is working – he explained -. We have the reasonable certainty that in April it will be possible to withdraw the resolution of the tickets, having respected the obligations established with the Government and after having covered the overruns of the past years". As regards the stabilization of precarious workers in the local health authorities, Mazzocca recalled that the local health authorities have been invited to "adopt staffing levels" to understand personnel needs and vacant posts. "More complicated" he defined the situations of Chieti and Pescara. The councilor announced that patients on dialysis at Sanatrix in L'Aquila will be welcomed by the hemodialysis service of the San Salvatore hospital starting Friday, enhanced with a doctor and 4 nurses.
