The reform is based on the substitution of central government grants with a tax sharing system and on the introduction of a new equalization grants mechanism. Equalization rants are aimed to correct fiscal imbalances across Regions and to uarantee the provision of health services at standard level in every Region. The paper highlights the critical points of the reform. On one hand, the new financing system does not guarantee to the Regions the resources needed to meet the growth of health services demand, due to population ageing. On the other hand, the reform does not provide any equalization mechanism for the tax revenues yielded by the autonomous fiscal effort performed by single Regions.

These requirements are not met by most Italian plants. Therefore, a large amount of investment will be necessary in the near future. The aim of this paper is to investigate scale and characteristics of economic inefficiency in the purification process, particularly in the activity of nitrogen reduction in waste water. The analysis has been accomplished by using recently developed techniques in the analysis of stochastic production frontiers. It is argued in the paper that, when technical efficiency is achieved by a lant, there is evidence of non-decreasing returns to scale; on the contrary, enlarging a plant is likely to be ineffective if allocative efficiency is not achieved.
