“The State? It only takes care of companies that operate for public health when it wants to make money”. He declares it, in a note, Gennaro Broya of Lucia, president of PMI Sanità, the national association of small and medium-sized enterprises committed to supplying hospitals with the materials necessary for diagnosis and treatment.
“Last January 3rd – continues de Lucia – a circular (no. 1) has been published, jointly signed by the General Accounting Office of the State and the Head of the Department of Public Function, which provides the first operational indications on the subject of combating late payments by public administrations. Well, these rules, which also prevent managers (including top managers) from collecting at least 30% of the bonuses in the event of violation of the maximum payment terms, have been applied practically everywhere except for the National Health Service entities where, so far, the greatest delays have been recorded!”.
“Think – underlines the leader of PMI Sanità – in 2023 only 6 regions respected the legal deadline of 60 days for the payment of invoices with peaks of 237 days reached in Calabria. And what does the State do? It mocks us by deciding, in an incomprehensible and damaging way, not to apply the circular to the SSN entities, thus excluding the companies in our sector from the efficiency of payments. All this is simply scandalous”.
