Abstract

The contribution is based on the emergency situation following the Covid-19 pandemic. The dramatic situation that has arisen offers an opportunity to reflect on the characteristics of Italian health care and in particular on the model for the division of responsibilities in health matters between the State and the regions. Every emergency requires exceptional interventions and extraordinary decisions.

In this way, in front of critical issues the chain of responsibilities and the leadership of the system would be clear and
