Italy: launch of the “Single Welfare Pole”

Published in Gazetta Ufficiale No. 140 of June 18, 2011, the interministerial decree issued by the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Economic Affairs clarifies the organizational system of the “Integrated Welfare Pole” established by Act No. 247 of December 24, 2007 (born from the Welfare protocol, see our dispatch No.  070873).  It provides for a “flexible system of synergy and cooperation” between the Ministry of Labor and the foreplanning and assistance organizations it is responsible for, such as the INPS (National Social Welfare Institution) and the Inail (National Institution for Insurance against Accidents at Work), for coordinated and integrated management of support and institutional activities – including programming and managing activities, organizing and managing public services, coordinating and managing professionals and physicians and inspecting activities – carried out in the territorial offices with the creation, in each province, of a single logistics pole.  Users for social labor services, protection, security, planning and assistance, which used to be directed to separate offices and institutions, will also turn to this pole.
