In conclusion, although it cannot be demonstrated that resources aimed at SSN funding<br />

were effectively underestimated or not, it can be observed that structural deficits have<br />

been established since the onset of the SSN. The analysis also demonstrates how the<br />

funding trend did not always take into consideration the principal production factors (i.e.<br />

the cost of SSN dependent staff); and finally it must be observed that, on the whole, the<br />

difference between funding and expenditure has substantially maintained a rather stable<br />

and sustainable level over the years.<br />

1.7.3 Regional data: sharing of resources and deficit<br />

One of the principal characteristics of the National Health Service in Italy is the adoption<br />

of a solidarity standard which has led to a level of different per capita funding for each<br />

Region.<br />

Table 3 demonstrates the per capita shares allocated to each Region, expressed in terms<br />

of index numbers.<br />
