Georgian government discusses priorities for 2010

Before the sitting PM Nika Gilauri stated that MPs would define priorities of the government's work for 2010, and new initiatives for the President.

"In 2010 main attention will be drawn to health care and education. Much was done in these spheres, yet much must still be done. In Batumi the President presented several innovations which we'll implement in the nearest time," Gilauri said.

He asked Dimitri Shashkin, Minister for Education, to conduct presentation of the president's initiatives with mentioning specific terms of implementation.

Innovations are also planned in insurance sphere, and the PM asked the Minister of Labour, Health Care, and Social Protection to prepare the presentation of the initiatives to be implemented in the sphere, to the nearest sitting of the government.

"We'll introduce new standards concerning hospitals and all people insured in the framework of the state program. These people mustn't turn to bad hospitals for help. Therefore, we have developed new standards for hospitals to become valid in the second half of the next year," Gilauri said.
