Abstract
in English, Italian

The rejection of the Constitutional Law Bill No.1429-D in the December 2016 referendum, has stimulated a cause for reflection on current health legislation and the future prospects of the Italian National Health Service; also in the context of the recent approval of the new Essential Levels of care (LEA) and other relevant laws approved by the Parliament. This article analyzes possible future legislative and organizational scenarios with particular regard to issues related to National health system's sustainability.

Il rigetto del Progetto di Legge Costituzionale n.1429-D nel referendum confermativo del dicembre 2016 ha aperto una fase di riflessione sulla legislazione sanitaria attuale e sulle prospettive future del Servizio Sanitario Nazionale, anche alla luce dell’approvazione dei nuovi LEA e di altre normative rilevanti approvate dal Parlamento. Questa nota analizza i possibili scenari futuri con particolare riferimento ai temi della sostenibilità del sistema sanitario.
