Minister Giulia Grillo signed the decree establishing 18 special lists until exhaustion in the Orders of health technicians of medical radiology and of the technical health professions, rehabilitation and prevention, in implementation of the provisions of paragraphs 537 and 538 of article 1 of the budget law 
“Nearly 20,000 health workers risked not being able to work anymore due to a botched regulation. With the establishment of special lists, we allow these people to be able to continue doing what they have always done and for which they were trained, without running the risk of finding themselves accused of abusive practice of their profession. It is an important intervention that eliminates a gray area and gives hope, a gesture of respect for many workers, who we continue to protect even in these hours".
