Yesterday, July 25, 2024, we signed a new National Collective Bargaining Agreement (CCNL) in Rome at Confintesa’s operational headquarters for “Medical managerial staff of health, social and welfare facilities under private law.”
Among the stipulating parties to the Collective Bargaining Agreement we have Co.N.A.P.I. Nazionale, of which I am honored to represent, Confintesa represented by Dr. Francesco Prudenzano, Confintesa Sanità represented by Dr. Domenico Amato and Dr. Alessio Minadeo, and the newly formed Italian Private Healthcare Federation of Co.N.A.P.I., represented by Dr. Pasquale Bacco.
As the national president of Co.N.A.P.I., I can only feel satisfied, because this contract brings important innovations to the sector, responding to the needs that have emerged from evolution in a field that has grown exponentially in recent years.
The various legislative reforms that have affected the reorganization of the National Health Service (NHS) have resulted in a significant transformation of the role of private health care facilities. From being supplementary tools in the delivery of services offered by the National Health Service (NHS), these facilities have become increasingly competitive and in line with people’s needs.
The scope of application of the Contract concerns the labor relations of medical health personnel of private law health facilities. Considering the nature of the activity to be carried out, the classification of personnel has been defined on the basis of a single classification, the managerial classification, differentiated according to the specific assignments given within the facility.
Special attention
has been placed on the importance of continuing education in the medical-health field, including through the activities of the bilateral body and the commitment of the social partners to the provision of training through the forming Interprofessional Fund “Fondointesa.” The National Co.N.A.P.I., which has always been committed to continuing education and, aware of the even more stringent importance of professional training in the health field, provides all the tools, including through important national agreements, so that the said training is implemented in the best possible way.
Finally, given the peculiar nature of the activities and the inherent nature of the services performed by the medical executive in the company, the Contract also sought to define the discipline of the free or professional activities of the medical executive, dividing them into three specific areas: institutional free professional activity, intramoenia activity and extramoenia free professional activity, thus allowing the medical executive to reconcile the aspects of free professional activity, with those proper to the employment relationship.
Proud of this important milestone, I encourage all private healthcare facilities to contact us for further clarification and information regarding this important contract.
