In Verkhneketsky district, the Prosecutor’s office seeks compensation for medical nutrition for a disabled child
the applicant’s 15-year-old son is legally required to receive specialised food free of charge, but the woman had to buy it herself

The Prosecutor’s office of the Verkhneketsky district of the Tomsk region on the appeal of a local resident conducted an audit of the implementation of legislation in the field of health care.
It turned out that the applicant’s 15-year-old son is a disabled child and needs constant intake of specialized therapeutic nutrition, which should be provided free of charge. However, without waiting for the provision of vital products, the woman purchased them at the expense of personal funds, spending more than 65 thousand rubles.
The prosecutor’s office appealed to the court with a claim, demanding to oblige the regional health department to reimburse the legal representative of the minor for the expenses incurred. The claim is pending
