This is stated in a message on the website of the Transcarpathian Regional State Administration, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
When local budgets were approved for 2017, the additional need for funds to pay salaries to public sector employees in Transcarpathia amounted to UAH 409,4 million. The reason is that the increase in the minimum wage was not taken into account when determining medical and educational subventions for the Transcarpathian region in the State Budget. By November 2017, this amount was reduced by more than half at the expense of local budgets, but the region still lacks UAH 190 million by the end of the year, the regional state administration says.
“There was only one answer to repeated letters to the Cabinet of Ministers about the lack of medical and educational subventions - to optimize medical and educational institutions, that is, to close schools, hospitals and fire workers... Today, the resources of local budgets have been exhausted, the region will have to find the necessary 190 million UAH on its own can not. The most difficult situation has arisen with the payment of salaries to education and health workers, especially in mountainous and sparsely populated areas. And without the speedy distribution of stabilization subsidies from the state budget, it will not be possible to solve the problem,” comments the chairman of the Transcarpathian Regional State Administration Gennady Moskal.
Now the Chairman of the Transcarpathian Regional State Administration has sent a telegram to the Prime Minister of Ukraine Vladimir Groysman with a request to urgently consider the issue of distributing stabilization subsidies and provide additional financial resources for the Transcarpathian region.
