Volunteering is no longer enough, places collective responsibility. Based on the observation that the guards of liberal doctors are unable to guarantee complete coverage throughout the territory, the executive intends to expand the pool of carers who can be mobilized, according to the amendment tabled on Tuesday evening.

The rapporteur of the Social Security financing bill, which will be debated in the Chamber from Thursday, explained that this proposal was raised from local debates within the framework of the health component of the National Council for Refoundation (CNR).
