Responsibilities for AT provision in Italy reside mainly with the National Health System (NHS), but there are also regulations at regional level and other benefits and sector-specific provisions, thus leading to a complex legislation regulating this domain.
This document is therefore intended to provide an overall reference frame, offering guidance on regulations in force and on opportunities to apply for funding.
