On 08/31/2015 a meeting of the Presidium of the Lviv regional council was held, which approved the agenda of the session of 09/15/2015. At the meeting, the Chairman of the Standing Committee on Health Care, maternity and social protection Chechotka Bogdan Romanovich made a speech and claimed on the need of adding “Program of improvement medical care for patients with pulmonary hypertension in the Lviv region in 2015-2017” (hereinafter – the Program) in the agenda of the session. He said that all wishes are included in the Program and it’s on the phase of last approval. It got an approval of the Standing Committee on Health Care, Maternity and social protection program.

Head of Lviv Regional Council Peter Nesterovych Kolodiy supported the proposal and noted that none of the members of the presidium would not oppose it.

Chairman of the Committee on Budget and socio-economic development and municipal property Kachmaryk Yaroslav Dmitrievich claimed that despite the adding the Program to agenda of this session it is  necessary to receive the approval of the Finance Department LRSA.

The program must receive approval of the Finance Department in LRSA till Friday. In case of its absence the program will be excluded from the agenda of the session, that is, can not be imposed on voting of 119 MPs on 09/15/2015.

We know that it is real to find the money as Lviv regional budget for 2015 exceeded 16%, of which it is possible to provide amount for implementation of the program.

In addition, the MP of the Lviv regional council Kostyuk Anna rightly noted that there are programs which at the present are not being realized, that’s why money can be  transferred at implementing the “Program of improvement medical care for patients with pulmonary hypertension in the Lviv region in 2015-2017.”

We believe that the Department of Finance LRSA and MPs of Lviv Regional Council will join forces and make a step forward to patients with pulmonary hypertension in the Lviv region, and not begin to look for excuse !!!
