Nine million Italians no longer turn to the national health service, CGIL union federation leader Susanna Camusso said Thursday. "They can't reach it anymore because of budget cuts and reduced services," she said.
Her comments came after State Audit Court President Raffaele Squitieri described the government's spending review as a "partial failure" at the inauguration of the judicial year earlier in the day. The review of public spending has given "the essential issue of the interrelationship with the quality of services" a back seat, Squitieri said.
