Contents
The course provides basic training in health law and social assistance law, by examining the birth, evolution and structure of the relative systems. The course begins with the illustration of the role of the social rights in the Constitution, dwelling then on the notions of health and assistance as they are derived from the entire constitutional text. A section is dedicated to the principles shared by the two rights and to the distribution of the relative regulatory competencies between the state and the regions. The organizational models of health services and social services are then reconstructed, and finally, the integration between them is examined.
