Registration of foreign nationals with the National Health Service (SSN) – Art. 34 of the Consolidated Immigration Act – persons with disabilities holding a residence permit for elective residence – prior mandatory and free registration on the basis of another residence permit – persistence of the right to registration after conversion of the permit – established – request for payment of the registration fee – discrimination – established – consequences.
The conduct of the Regione Piemonte constitutes discrimination on grounds of nationality and disability in having denied, for the years 2024 and 2025, mandatory and free registration with the National Health Service to foreign nationals with disabilities holding a residence permit for elective residence, who had previously held another residence permit entitling them to such mandatory and free registration. Article 34(1) of the Consolidated Immigration Act must be interpreted as meaning that, for foreign nationals in these circumstances, the right to registration continues even after the conversion of the residence permit that originally entitled them to registration.
Consequently, the Region must be ordered to proceed with registration and to reimburse the sums paid as registration fees—pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article 34 of the same Act—to foreign nationals who, being in the above-mentioned situation, paid such fees in order to secure access to healthcare.
