Novgorod Regional Duma of the eighth convocation adopted the first law

Deputies of the Novgorod Regional Duma of the new, eighth convocation adopted their first law at their first meeting on October 8. It concerns the adjustment of the regional budget for 2026-2028. The main changes are related to the fact that the region received additional funds from the federal treasury.

Much of the new money will go to health care. The federal center allocated 23 million rubles for the purchase of continuous glucose monitoring systems for children with type I diabetes and pregnant women with diabetes. Another seven million rubles will be allocated for the renewal of primary medicine, as well as for medicines for disabled children. 250 million rubles were allocated from the reserve fund of the region for free provision of residents with necessary drugs. In addition, reducing costs due to the lack of demand for some areas, added 17 million rubles for social support of health workers and payments to donors.

The funds were also redistributed to important social and infrastructure projects. Preferential categories of citizens will receive additional assistance in the form of 13.2 million rubles from the federal budget for the purchase and installation of gas equipment and social gasification.

We also talked about the families of the special military operation. For them, donations from the Children’s Support Fund increased by 8.4 million rubles this year and by 4.9 million next year.

Additional funds were provided to support families with children paying mortgages. To help repay the mortgage allocated 19 million rubles.

We did not ignore the road area. The redistribution of road funds allowed to allocate an additional 17 million rubles for the design, construction and repair of local roads in Veliky Novgorod.
