L’ANCI Sicily asks for a meeting withRegional Councilor of the family Nuccia Albanoso that the resources made available by the PNSCIA are refinanced (National Program Health care serviceschildhood and to elderly people).
The solicitation comes fromANCI that already last month, after a meeting in Rome with the Management Authority of the PNSCIA Programme, had raised the alarm on the negative impact that the absence of new resources, expected until 30 June, could have on the essential levels of services intended for beneficiaries of the Planresidents of the four Regions of theEuropean “Convergence” objective (Sicily, Calabria, Campania And Puglia).
“The lack of funding, after more than a decade PNSCIA starting from the second half of 2024, – explained the President of theANCI Amenta and the Secretary Alvano – the need for ordinary resources will increase, for the management of nurseriesand will greatly prejudice the interest of Common to participate in the notice relating to Decree no. 79 of 30 April 2024. This Decree, based on the new Floor for nursery schools worth 734.9 million euros, allocating investment funds for the construction of new structures or the renovation of buildings, to be used for nurserywill paradoxically require greater spending, also for current funds”.
“In particular,” adds the President Amenta – according to the European directivesservices for early childhood they should reach a percentage of 33% for children from 0 to 36 months, to be welcomed in public or affiliated nursery schools. Let’s remember that in Sicilywith current plans financing, we are stuck at 12%. Furthermore, without management funds, it is perfectly useless to build new structures forchildhood, which without adequate resources would remain empty boxes. Finally or you refinance the PNSCIA program or it will be necessary to remodulate the resources, foreseen by the Bottom Special Level Fairness Services (Budget Law 2024, art. 1)”.
