Dl Pnrr, green light from the Chamber: family doctors in service up to 72 years old among the measures

Next, the possibility for local health authorities to 'retain in service, at the request of the interested parties' doctors affiliated with the National Health Service is extended by one year, i.e. until 31 December 2027: these are mainly family doctors, paediatricians and medical guards, of whom there is a great shortage today.

In addition, the extension of the Single Universal Allowance goes ahead. The government's amendment, which is also necessary to avoid a condemnation by the Court of Justice of the European Union, expands the scheme to workers from EU states not resident in Italia and to dependent children resident in another state.

The text intervenes on Legislative Decree No 230 of 29 December 2021, which among the beneficiaries excludes workers who do not reside in Italy for at least two years or whose children do not reside in Italy.

It was for these requirements that the EU Commission referred Italia to the European Court in 2024.

With the extension, according to the technical report, there would be 50,000 new beneficiaries. The planned expenditure would thus be EUR 20 million for the coming months of 2026 and would rise to EUR 36.2 million annually from 2035.

The intervention has an impact on the Consolidated Law on Publicly Owned Companies: the Budget Law 2023 had already provided for a temporary regime with a duration of one year and until December 2026 for commands and secondments of personnel of publicly controlled companies for the implementation of the NRP.

Furthermore, the structure of the Presidency of the Council responsible for technological innovation and digital transition may extend the appointments of the experts of the Digitalisation Department until 31 December 2026 at the latest.

The postponement is intended to ensure continuity and effectiveness of the digital transformation programmes launched under the NRP projects, pending the completion of the competition procedures already planned.

The go-ahead is also given for the expenditure of €1.6 million over the three-year period (€400,000 in 2026, €800,000 in 2027, and €400,000 in 2028) in favour of the Ministry of the Interior to enable the activities of collecting, processing, and disseminating data relating to elections and referendums to be carried out through the development, evolutionary, adaptive, and corrective maintenance of the Electoral Information System (Siel), also for the purpose of the full implementation of the electoral card in digital format.

OK then by the Budget Committee of Montecitorio to the reduction from 90 to 60 days of the deadline within which the authorities responsible for the management of public land take - except in cases of expropriation - the necessary decisions and comply with simple, effective, transparent, public and non-discriminatory procedures when examining applications for the granting of the right to install electronic infrastructure.
