Social
Letter of complaint to the Minister Sacconi by Region and local Tuscan
Salvadori, "Palese disengagement of the Government towards the vulnerable groups'
cutting Social Fund 2009 and 'disappearance' of the for non- self-sufficiency for 2010
Cut to the National Fund for long-term care
progressive cutting of the National Fund for Social Policy from 2007 (about 30% a year ago, about 50 % this year). Disappearance of the National Endowment for the non-self-sufficiency by 2010. "Just these simple figures - said the Councillor for Social Policies Gianni Salvadori in the letter addressed to the Minister Guido Sacconi, welfare, on behalf of the Conference of the Society of health that also meet ANCI, UPI and Uncem - to clarify a picture that shows dramatic and which shows the apparent disengagement of the Government towards the most fragile. " Replicating what has already happened a year ago. "Last year - says the commissioner - the government decided unilaterally to cut the Social Fund, in October, about 30%. Local governments found themselves in great difficulty because most of the resources for the services were now already been spent. A year has passed and the situation is even worse. " In 2007 the National Fund amounted to € 953 million (61 million for Tuscany). In 2008 it was reduced by approximately 30% (600 million, 40 for Tuscany) and for this year by about 50% (500 million, 34 for Tuscany). "So far - add Salvadori - we received only half of this money, 17 million €. The other half we do not know when we will receive neither if we receive. "
The disappearance of the National Fund for the disabled is yet another insult (400 million euro allocated last year, including 28 for Tuscany), since, as noted by Salvadori, "Tuscany, initiated last year build your own fund for long-term care, supporting it with additional 80 million euro per year until 2010 own resources and without any new taxes for the citizens of Tuscany. "
Tuscany, by the mouth of the assessor responds in unison to the nth government's decision to reduce resources in a strategic sector such as social services. "The local Tuscan unanimously and without distinction of political color, reveal that above this cut comes at a difficult time for families, already hit hard by the economic crisis. We will make every effort to provide these services to citizens, but we want everyone to know about who falls the responsibility for this decision. "
Salvadori concludes by emphasizing the lack of any comparison with the regions and requesting a meeting as soon as possible "to discuss and share these critical issues."
