No funds from the Recovery and Resilience Plan will be lost, Social Minister Natalia Efremova told members of parliament’s Labour, Demographic and Social Policy Committee.
She said the more important outcome was ensuring a higher-quality and better life for people with disabilities and older people.
Efremova announced that the factual implementation of all investments under the plan had been completed on August 31. The largest investment concerns the modernization of long-term care services. It forms part of a strategic effort to modernize social services.
During the latest renegotiation, a target was set for a total of 250 renovated or newly established social services. Municipalities have submitted reporting documents for 252 services. The documents and the reported expenses will now undergo checks and verification.
“We managed to renovate all homes for older people run by municipalities and created new social services,” the minister said. She stressed that the key requirement was for the environment to reflect users’ individual needs and become substantially different, improved and accessible for older people.
Alongside this investment, photovoltaic plants were installed at 500 social services financed through state-delegated activities. Efremova said the installations had been completed successfully and were already producing significant savings in operating costs.
The municipalities also acquired 250 electric vehicles for the needs of social services.
