People's Council deputies report to the Head of the
Donetsk People's Republic on spring session results
On Saturday, July 1, the final meeting of the spring session of the DPR
People's Council took place. The report of deputies was heard by Alexander
Zakharchenko. In his opening remarks, the Head of the Republic noted that the
people's representatives should have intensified their work on the formation
and improvement of the legislative base of the state.
"I want to congratulate you on the end of another spring
session," the Head of State addressed the deputy corps. "In
accordance with a tradition, let's sum up the session. The People's Council is
the only legislative body of the Republic. Your work is invaluable and
priceless. You, as deputies, are obliged to develop all the necessary laws in
the shortest time according to which the country will live and work, possibly
for many decades. During this session, 39 legislative acts were adopted. I
believe that we fall short of target. But I fully understand the difficulties
that you face and the volatile situation we all live in. However, the work
should be intensified. We lack a lot of laws. It's not your fault, but
circumstances. You do meet people, do serious work. We are all at the forefront
today, and legislators are important fighters on their own front."
Also Alexander Zakharchenko noted that it was necessary to raise the
professional level of deputies. And he promised that the state would promote
this to the maximum.
Finally, the Head of State wished the legislators labour and fruitful
vacations.
"Everything that has not been completed during this session, it is
necessary to finish on the summer vacation," he stressed.
Reforms for people
In turn, the people's representatives asked Alexander Zakharchenko about
the course of reforms in the spheres of education and medicine.
"Indeed, we began to reformat the two most important social
spheres: medicine and education.
I'll start with education. Everybody understands perfectly well that the
situation in our economy requires extremely tough and sometimes cardinal
decisions. We are experiencing a huge shortage of working specialties.
Therefore, it was decided to strengthen the mid-technical education: vocational
schools, technical schools, lyceums. A number of events were held. One of them
is the creation of a personnel reserve and state orders for certain
specialties. We have an overabundance of lawyers and economists, who,
unfortunately, after being educated, are forced to apply for waiters and other
professions. Not enough of manpower. For example: the average age in
"green areas" is about 68 years," Alexander Zakharchenko
said.
The Head of State separately pitched upon the level of school education,
because, in his opinion, now it is also not of a high quality either. He said
that there would be changes in the levels of management of the educational
sphere. In addition, new subjects will be introduced in schools. For now: the
modern history of the Homeland, the history of the liberation movement.
Speaking about the reform in medicine, the Head noted that its main
thesis was "medicine is for people."
"I do not insist that the medicine should be absolutely free of
charge, but it should be patient-oriented. Taking into account the humanitarian
programme for the reunification of Donbass and integration into the Russian
Federation, changes are about to happen. The main provisions of the reform are
clear management of health facilities, without divisions into municipal and
republican. And I want to reassure: the reform will not lead to reductions of
medical staff and hospital beds.
Also, within the framework of the reform, mechanisms will be developed
to attract young specialists to public hospitals. Recently, I have ordered to
purchase would apartments in Shakhtyorsk for medical workers who were already
working and will come to work. Also, my order introduces an additional payment
for the prestige of the profession, which will allow raising salaries for
doctors and, accordingly, reduce the outflow of personnel to other spheres," said Alexander
Zakharchenko.
