The Ministry of Labor considered the performance of functions of guardianship and guardianship in respect of adults

At the meeting of the Board of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection chaired by Minister Andrei Lobovich on November 11, the issues of performing the functions of guardianship and guardianship in respect of adults were considered - details were told by sb.by in the press service of the Ministry of Labor.

The press service informed:

- The main emphasis was placed on responsibility for the living conditions of the wards and the interaction of departments. The discussion was attended by Deputy Minister of Housing and Communal Services Andrei Romashko and Deputy Minister of Health Boris Androsyuk.

As of October 1, more than 28.8 thousand citizens were recognized as incapable. About 12,000 of them live at home.

- Behind each decision to establish custody is a person who needs help and protection, said Andrey Lobovich. It is important to appoint a guardian in time, check the living conditions, ensure the safety of property. The bodies of social protection, health care and housing and communal services should act in concert so that each issue is resolved in a timely manner.

The ministry recalled that within the framework of the current legislation, the powers of social protection, health care and housing and communal services bodies were defined, the procedure for managing the property of wards was clarified, the reporting of guardians was simplified, and reimbursement of expenses for those who take a ward from a boarding house on “home leave” was provided. The digital accounting system provides for automatic monitoring of the appointment of guardians and surveys of the living conditions of wards.

- At the same time, the timely appointment of guardians requires additional attention, including compliance with the terms of medical examinations of candidates for guardians, conducting surveys of the living conditions of the wards and protecting their property rights, the ministry added. A separate decision requires payment of housing and communal services by citizens living in boarding houses who are homeowners.

As a result of the board, instructions were given to strengthen interdepartmental cooperation in the interests of the wards, and proposals for improving legislation were identified. MHCH urged to improve the algorithms of interaction with the guardianship and guardianship bodies
