Confindustria advocates for the cancellation of the payback system, arguing it jeopardizes the competitiveness of medical device companies and strains regional budgets. The current model requires suppliers to reimburse a portion of healthcare spending that exceeds a national ceiling, which has led to significant financial challenges, particularly in the Marche Region. To foster technological innovation and improve patient care, Confindustria calls for better monitoring of spending and adjustments to align with European averages.
The National HTA Plan, backed by Agenas, aims to foster a sustainable healthcare model in Italy, but requires supportive industrial policies. Confindustria Medical Devices President Nicola Barni warns that the current payback system threatens GDP and jobs, urging for its elimination and a regulatory framework that promotes innovation. He emphasizes the need for a strategic approach to healthcare planning and a rapid Health Technology Assessment to enhance patient care and maintain competitiveness against global rivals.
Health spending in Italy is projected to rise from 6.2% of GDP in 2023 to 6.4% by 2026, reflecting pre-pandemic levels. However, the Parliamentary Budget Office warns that funding growth will lag behind NHS spending, risking regional deficits and highlighting a critical shortage of healthcare personnel.
Italy faces a critical choice between fostering innovation and succumbing to economic stagnation, with recent budget measures raising concerns over excessive government intervention in business. Key issues include a proposed ministerial auditor requirement for state-funded entities and a tax overhaul that risks undermining domestic demand and competitiveness, particularly in the life sciences sector. The budget's focus on income support and tax reductions for lower earners may be offset by cuts to deductions for higher earners, potentially harming overall economic growth.
