The Prime Minister emphasized that at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on Wednesday, 28 October. Arseniy Yatsenyuk has stressed the need "to deprive the Health Ministry of the function of medicine procurement."

"Why is there a bare-knuckle fight over the post of Health Minister Only one goal is pursued- to appoint a Minister with the view of controlling all the procurement. The function of the Minister, both under the law and the coalition agreement, lies in the formation of public policy, not the expenditure of public money for the procurement or management of state - owned entities," the Prime Minister underlined.
