Luigi Genesio Icardi
Luigi Genesio Icardi is the first signatory of bill to Parliament no. 160, discussed and approved by the Piedmont Regional Council, which aims to allow nurses and other healthcare professionals employed by the National Health Service to carry out private practice outside their working hours [1].
The bill on intramoenia
The text presented by Icardi amends law no. 251 of 10 August 2000 and concerns staff exercising the healthcare professions regulated by that law. In the version examined, private practice can be carried out at the patient's home, in authorised healthcare, social-healthcare or care facilities, and within the employing institution itself (intramoenia); to work in other public or private facilities, authorisation from the employing institution is required [1]. The Regional Council approved the bill with 43 votes in favour and three councillors not taking part in the vote [1].
Since this is a bill addressed to Parliament, the Piedmont vote has no immediate effect: for the new rules to come into force, a national parliamentary passage is required. The text provides that, after any approval, the Regions will have 120 days to regulate the organisation and procedures of the activity, and health authorities a further 60 days to adapt their own regulations [1].
The approval was listed among the Regional Council's acts of the week alongside other topics, including the difficulties of Piedmontese agriculture and the crisis at Acciaierie d'Italia, formerly Ilva [2][3][4].
