The initial approval has been given for a three-year budget adjustment of €750 million, partly earmarked for healthcare, but also for measures to combat depopulation and attract investment to the island.
The Council approved the bill at the end of a very long session.
The text will now be forwarded to the Regional Council's Budget Committee. During this second phase, if not directly in the Chamber, a series of amendments will be prepared to address the high fuel prices and the most pressing healthcare system issues highlighted yesterday by the Democratic Party (which requested an allocation of €100 million to address them).
